Where this word comes from
Disputed. According to De Vaan, from Proto-Italic *pe-arkō, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epo (“off”) + *h₂erk- (“to hold, guard”) (whence arceō). The linguist Michael Weiss suggests that the Proto-Indo-European compound *pe-h₂erk- became *pe-h₂ark-, then *peh₂ark-, whence *pah₂ark-, which became *pārk-, and then *park- via Osthoff's law. Weiss suggests that the pre-form *pe-h₂erk- may also be continued by Hittite 𒁉𒂊𒄯𒍣 (pé-e-ḫar-zi) The LIV, however, derives the term from Proto-Indo-European *pr̥k-é-ti, itself from the putative root *perk-. De Vaan rejects this theory, arguing that it is semantically unconvincing. Others make it cognate with Ancient Greek σπαρνός (sparnós, “rare”), English spare. See also parcus.
