It. parata ‘a warding or defending; a dighting or garish setting forth’ (Florio 1611), Sp. parada ‘a staying or stopping, also, a standing or staying place’ (Minsheu 1599); L. type *parāta, from parāre.
L. parāre to make ready, procure, prepare, furnish, in late L. to deck, adorn, developed many senses in Romanic; e.g. in It. (1) ‘to adorne, dight, decke, beautifie, set foorth, furnish, garnish, prouide’, (2) ‘to prepare to receive (a blow), to ward off, defend, cover, shield’, (3) ‘to teach a horse to stop and staie orderly’, to make ‘the stop in the action of horsemanship’ (Florio).

The n., It. parata, Sp. parada, might occur in any of the senses of the vb. used in the lang. Fr. has app. taken senses of parade from both.
