About Parachute भित्तिफलकम्
पैराशूट् इति लोहपत्रनिर्मितं भित्तिफलकम् अस्ति। यदा कश्चित् भागः उपयोगे भवति, तदा तस्य भागस्य फलकम् अधः पतित्वा तत्रैव लम्बते। एतत् लम्बमानं फलकं प्रावारं पत्रिकां वा तत्सदृशानि वस्तूनि धारयति, तानि च पतनात् रक्षति। अस्य पृष्ठे सूक्ष्मान्तरालैः पृथक्कृताः वर्णयुक्ताः रेखाः सन्ति, येन एतत् फलकम् आधुनिकस्य पैराशूटस्य चित्रात्मकं रूपं स्मारयति, भित्तिकलारूपेण अपि द्रष्टुं शक्यते। पैराशूट् इत्यस्य विस्तारः ७९० मि.मी., गभीरता ३० मि.मी., उच्चता च २२० मि.मी. अस्ति। अस्य नाम रक्षणस्य पतनस्य च भावनयोः संयोगं करोति।

- When listening to Coldplay's first album, it suddenly occurred to me to look up the word "Parachute."
It seems that the name "parachute" comes combining the Italian "parare" (to protect) with the French "chute" (to fall).
I thought that was a rather fine name.
I tried to think of devices that protect against falling.
