Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *partis > parts > pars.

Probably from the same root as p?r and porti?. This could be the Proto-Indo-European root *perH- or *per- (“sell, exchange”), which also gave the Ancient Greek ????? (pórn?, “prostitute”), and ??????? (pérn?mi, “sell”).

Others refer to (the perhaps identical) Proto-Indo-European *per- (“to pass through”), whence Latin porta, portus, par?, pari?, per?culum, experior, Ancient Greek ???? (péra), ????? (peír?), ????? (póros), Proto-Germanic *faran? (“to go, to travel”) and *f?r? (“danger”), whence English fare and fear, German fahren and Gefahr.

While keeping the separate root Proto-Indo-European *sperH-, that could also explain Latin parcus, parc?, Ancient Greek ??????? (sparnós), English spare.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /pars/, [pärs?]
• (Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /pars/, [p?rs]
