Etymology

"Parallèle" comes from Old French *parallèle* (13th c.), itself derived from the Latin *parallelus*, meaning “lying beside one another.” That Latin form is built on *para-* (from Greek *para*, “beside”) + *allelus* (from Greek *allelō*, “other, different”), literally “other beside.” Initially used to describe geometrical lines, the sense broadened in the 18th century to denote any comparative or analogous relationship.
