Etymology: "Parsed" is the past tense of "parse," a verb meaning to break a sentence into its grammatical parts and describe how they relate. The verb grew out of a much older noun: Middle English "pars" meant "parts" and, in grammar, "parts of speech." That noun came through Old French "pars," the plural of "part," from Latin "pars," meaning "part, piece, share." So the grammatical sense is literally the idea of dividing a sentence into its pieces. The Latin root may go back to a Proto-Indo-European form, *per-, which some scholars link to notions of carrying forth or selling, though that connection is uncertain. The English word's clearest ancestry runs through the medieval grammar vocabulary of "parts" rather than through any single ancient source.
