pare

Etymology

This word came into English through Middle English paren, from Old French parer ("to arrange, prepare, trim"), from Latin parō ("to prepare, arrange; to provide, furnish; to resolve, purpose") (related to pariō ("to bear, to give birth to; to spawn, produce, beget; to procure, acquire")), ultimately from a Proto-Indo-European root *per- ("to bring forward, bring forth").
