+ '''pariter''' (comparative parius, superlative parissimē or parissumē, adjective pār)^(Wiktionary)
+ A comparative ''parius'' and a superlative ''parissimē'' are recorded.^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is formed [[af|la|pār|-ter|t1=equal]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) The origin of [[m|la|pār]] itself is disputed, and de Vaan finds no good etymology for it.^(de Vaan 2008)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ Köbler dates it from Terence,^(Köbler 2010) but the OLD cites Plautus: ''sī quō hīc gradiētur, pariter prōgredīminō'', “if he walks anywhere, walk alongside him”.^(OLD 2012)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ ''Pariter'' is “together, side by side”;^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) “equally, as much”, and in Cato “evenly, level”;^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) “in the same manner, alike” (Terence: ''germānu's pariter animō et corpore'', “you are a true brother in mind and body alike”); and “at the same time”, as in Virgil, where a spear takes voice and life ''pariter'', both at once.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)
+
+ Church Latin glosses it “at the same time, with one accord, together, similarly, equally”.^(Stelten 1995)
