relating to Paris, the capital of France, or a person from Paris.
From the Latin name for Paris, 'Parisii,' the Celtic tribe that inhabited the region. The English word developed through Old French and has referred to both the city and its inhabitants since medieval times.
The stereotype of Parisians being rude to tourists is actually studied by linguists—some research suggests it's partly that Parisians speak quickly and don't use the elaborate politeness formulas that other French regions do, not actual hostility.
