In French, the "para" prefix means "protect against".

For instance, "parasol" means "against the sun ("soleil"), "parachute" against falling, etc.

But most words starting with "para" just borrowed it from the Greek meaning "by the side", "parallel", as in "paramédical".

The noun "para" also exists as short for "parachutiste", meaning this special action force of the military.
