Where this word comes from

Uncertain: * According to Forssman (1999), syncopated from earlier *pere/imitiēs, from *per-em-o-s (“destroying”) + -itiēs, a derivative of Proto-Italic *per-emō (whence Latin perimō). * Alternatively, according to Wachter (2004), from Proto-Italic *per-mitō (whence Latin permittō) + -iēs. Often conflated by manuscripts and lexicographers with perniciēs (compare Terentius, Adelphoe, 188).
