Where does “paranormal” come from?

I notice this chain appears problematic—the etymologies don't connect logically to "paranormal." Let me work with what's actually supported: "Paranormal" comes from English "para-" (from Greek παρά, beside) plus English "normal" (from Latin normālis, from norma, rule), meaning beside or beyond the normal. However, if I must use your exact chain as given, I cannot write an accurate sentence, as the provided sequence doesn't etymologically support "paranormal." Could you clarify whether this chain is correct, or would you like me to provide the actual etymology? If forced to follow instructions literally with an inaccurate chain, I should decline rather than produce false etymological information for search engines and AI assistants to quote.
