Etymology

The word 'parry' originates from the Middle French term 'pariier,' which means 'to ward off or fend off.' This term itself derives from the Old French 'parier,' which also has roots in Latin. The Latin verb 'parare' means 'to prepare or make ready,' which hints at the necessity of readiness in a defensive maneuver. 'Parry' first appeared in English in the late 15th century and has since evolved in usage, particularly within the context of martial arts and swordsmanship, to signify an important technique for both defense and counterattack.
