Origin:
The Greek word parabolé originally meant "a comparison, a placing beside." It was used in mathematics to describe a conic section that was "thrown beside" (i.e., parallel to) another conic section.
In mathematics, the term "parabola" was first used by the Greek mathematician Apollonius of Perga in the 3rd century BC.
The use of the term in the sense of a moral or spiritual lesson is derived from its use in the New Testament of the Bible, where it refers to stories told by Jesus to illustrate a point.
