Meaning of "paddy" in English

In English, the word "paddy" primarily refers to a flooded field where rice is grown, commonly known as a rice paddy. The term originates from the Malay word "padi," which means rice plant. It is often used in agricultural contexts in regions where rice cultivation is prevalent, such as Southeast Asia. Additionally, "paddy" can have a colloquial usage, particularly in some English-speaking countries, to refer to a fit of temper or a tantrum, although this usage can be considered informal.
