+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is [[af|la|ad-|pāreō|t1=to, towards|t2=to appear; to obey]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) The origin of ''pāreō'' is uncertain: de Vaan reconstructs [[itc-pro|*pās-ē-]] and suggests a stative verb “to be visible”, perhaps from a root *peh₂-s- “to watch, see”, comparing [[sq|pashë|t=I saw]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Etymonline)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ Naevius has it of people who dare to appear together with the speaker.^(OLD 2012) Köbler dates Naevius c. 235–200 BC.^(Köbler 2010) Plautus uses it of being visible.^(OLD 2012)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It meant to be visible, to appear or be found somewhere, to come forth or take shape, and to come into sight.^(OLD 2012) It also meant to be perceptible to the other senses, as a sound, and to become evident to the mind; impersonally ''appāret'' meant “it is clear”.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary) From appearing before a magistrate it meant to attend or serve as his officer, a lictor or scribe, and so to obey.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)
+
+ It survives in [[it|apparire]] and [[ro|apărea]].^(Wiktionary) Through Old French ''aparoir'' it gave [[en|appear]] in the late 13th century.^(Etymonline)
