It comes from the Hebrew פרושים perushim from פרוש parush, and means set apart.The Pharisees were, over the years, a political party, a social movement, or a Jewish school during the Second Temple Era (536 BCE-70 CE). After then the Pharisaic sect became Rabbinic Judaism and ultimately traditional Judaism.
