Did you know?
What do parry, parapet, and parasol have in common?
Parry (which is used in fencing, as well as in other applications) was borrowed from French parer, meaning "to ward off" or "to avert," and may specifically have come directly from the plural imperative form of that word, parez. The French likely borrowed the word from Italian parare, meaning "to prepare, adorn, avert, shield, keep out." That word's source is Latin parāre, meaning "to supply, provide, make ready," an ancestor to many familiar English words, among them prepare, repair, emperor, separate, and apparatus.
Example Sentences
He parried the thrust of his opponent's sword. He parried and then threw a punch. She cleverly parried the reporters' questions.
