Etymology

The noun *parce* comes from Old French *parce*, a contraction of *par ce* (“because of”), which itself is derived from Latin *para* (from the preposition *para* “for, on account of”). Historically it was used as a particle to introduce an explanation or cause, and later the word *parce* came to refer to that particle itself. Thus the noun marks the element that introduces a causal clause.
