[ˈpaːr]

Unclear. A traditional reconstruction is Proto-Indo-European *perh₂- (“to exchange, sell”), comparing Ancient Greek πέρνημι (pérnēmi) etc. and Lithuanian pirkti; but this accounts badly for the /a(ː)/. De Vaan suggests *peh₂s- (“to watch (over), see?”), linking Latin pāreō. All possibilities nonetheless suffer semantic problems. Others refrain from assigning an Indo-European root. If Umbrian pars (“prescribed”) is related, one can reconstruct an adjectival stem in Proto-Italic *par-.
