Outside the jurisdiction or concerns of a parish; in broader usage, extending beyond local or parochial boundaries and interests.
From Latin 'extra' (outside) + 'parochial' (from Medieval Latin 'parochialis', from 'parochia' parish, from Greek 'paroikia' sojourning). The term has been used since medieval times with legal and ecclesiastical meanings.
Universities and hospitals often have extraparochial status, meaning they serve people beyond one parish or district, which is why they're funded differently and have different rules—they're recognized as institutions serving a broader community, not just locals.
