parody=باروديا
ONLINE ETYMOLOGY DICTIONARY:
parody (n.)
1590s (first recorded use in English is in Ben Jonson), from or in imitation of L. parodia "parody," from Gk. paroidia / παρωδια   "burlesque song or poem," from para- "beside, parallel to" (see para- (1), in this case, "mock-") + oide "song, ode" (see ode). The meaning "poor or feeble imitation" is from 1830. Related: Parodic; parodical.


para- (1)
before vowels, par-, word-forming element meaning "alongside, beyond; altered; contrary; irregular, abnormal," from Gk. para- from para (prep.) "beside, near, issuing from, against, contrary to," from PIE root *per- "forward, through," cognate with O.E. for- "off, away" (see fore (adv.)).
para- (2)
word-forming element meaning "defense, protection against; that which protects from," from It. para, imperative of parare "to ward off," from L. parare "make ready" (see pare).
ode (n.)
1580s, from M.Fr. ode (c.1500), from L.L. ode "lyric song," from Gk. ωδη/oide, Attic contraction of aoide "song, ode/ωδη;" related to aeidein (Attic aidein) "to sing;" aoidos (Attic oidos) "a singer, singing;" aude "voice, tone, sound," probably from a PIE *e-weid-, perhaps from root *wed- "to speak." In classical use, "a poem intended to be sung;" in modern use usually a rhymed lyric, often an address, usually dignified, rarely extending to 150 lines. Related: Odic.
