Proto-Semitic *PARAD --- *PARIET-IS Latin
The search for an etymology regarding Latin "parietis" has been more intense than succesful. We refrain from repeating it here. The function of a "paries" is that of dividing, separating spaces. The Spanish noun "pared", like Portuguese "parede" have been quoted specifically on account of their similarity with the Hebrew root "P R D". This may just have happened by chance.
Note:
- Proto-Semitic. For "P R D" as a root we find in Aramaic
"פ ר ד , perad, that besides "he separated" also says "
he scattered, drove off". The same "perad" in Syriac means "he ran, fled". Then Arabic has farada = was single, sole". The picture is not clear, though one might consider these meanings related. Probably Proto-Semitic had this root "*פ ר ד , P R D", but it is hard to define all meanings that were then present.
Note:
- Indo-European It has been tried to consider as cognates a number of words that have a "P A R-" and a meaning of ""to support, prop up" instead " to separate spaces". The difference in meaning is too big though, and our comparison remains limited to Semitic and Latin.
