Where this word comes from

The root perus is from Proto-Italic *pero- (“on the other side”) from Proto-Indo-European *per-o-. Perhaps originally meaning “precipitous, heedless”. Cognate with Latin per (“through”), prīmus (“first”), prīvus (“private”) and prīscus (“ancient”). The additional per- prefix is from the same root, used in the sense of "through".
