editPronunciation
edit- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈpar.koː/, [ˈpärkoː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈpar.ko/, [ˈpärko]
Etymology 1
editFrom Proto-Italic *pe-arkō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epo (“off”) + *h₂erk- (“to hold, guard”) (whence arceō).[1] See also parcus.
Others make it cognate with Ancient Greek σπαρνός (sparnós, “rare”), English spare.
Verb
editparcō (present infinitive parcere, perfect active pepercī or parsī, supine parsum); third conjugation
- (+ dative or accusative) to spare, save up, economise
- Synonym: reservo
- (figuratively, + dative) to forgive someone, have mercy for, to be lenient to
- c. 50 BCE, Publilius Syrus, Sententiae :
- Bonīs nocet quisquis pepercit malīs.
- He does harm to the good, whoever has been lenient to the bad
- Bonīs nocet quisquis pepercit malīs.
- Augustus, Res Gestae Divi Augusti :
- victorque omnibus veniam petentibus civibus peperci.
- ... and victorious, I spared all the citizens desiring pardon.
- victorque omnibus veniam petentibus civibus peperci.
- c. 52 BCE, Julius Caesar, Commentarii de Bello Gallico VII.28:
- Non aetate confectis, non mulieribus, non infantibus pepercerunt
- They spared neither old men, women, or children
- Non aetate confectis, non mulieribus, non infantibus pepercerunt
- to let alone, omit
- (+ dative or a/ab + ablative) to refrain, abstain, avoid
Conjugation
edit- Perfect parsī is ante-Classical or post-Classical. Perfect parcuī and future participle parcitūrus are found rarely.
1At least one use of the archaic "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
