parole

common noun

Syllable Decomposition

parole

from the Latin parabola (comparison, similarity), borrowed from ancient Greek. It took on the meaning of 'allegory', then of 'serious or inspired discourse' in Christian authors, a double meaning that seems to be due to a calque of the biblical Hebrew pārehāl (Job xxvii, 1: assumens parabolam suam, 'resuming his discourse'). And finally that of 'speech, language' in Romania: in rustica parabola, 'in the vulgar tongue'.
