Parados is also used as an English word, it is bank of earth built behind a trench to protect soldiers from supprise attack from the rear. It origin in Europe was French and the words spelling is 'para reredos' and was used about 1825 -1835. A paradros in Greek Tragedy terminology was a conversation between a single actor and a chorus. Later a second and third actor was added so that a Parados became a gangway on which chorus and actors made their entry from either side into the orchestra. So the Parados was a gangway in Greek Tragedy and came to mean a kind of fortified trench, which is also a form of gangway
