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.(This etymology is missing or incomplete.

Perfect parcuī and future participle parcitūrus are found rarely. 1At least one use of the Old Latin "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"). ===== Derived terms ===== ===== Descendants ===== Italian: parcere → Basque: barkatu → Spanish: parcir === Etymology 2 === See the etymology of the corresponding lemma form. ==== Adjective ==== parcō dative/ablative masculine/neuter singular of parcus === References === parco in Enrico Olivetti, editor (2003-2026), Dizionario Latino, Olivetti Media Communication “parco”, in Charlton T.
