parsleyn.Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin petresilium; French persil, persilie. Etymology: In α. forms < post-classical Latin petresilium (9th cent.), an unexplained alteration of classical Latin petroselīnum parsley (see petroselinum n.). In β. forms reborrowed < Anglo-Norman persil, persille, percile, persile, percil, persel, peressil and Middle French persil (1328; 12th cent. in Old French as perresil , 13th cent. as paresil ; French persil ) < post-classical Latin petresilium (see above), with loss of suffix. In γ. forms either < Anglo-Norman persilie (c1200 in an apparently isolated attestation; < post-classical Latin petresilium (see above)), or a blend of the β and α forms. The δ. forms probably represent shortenings of the γ. forms. Post-classical Latin petresilium was also borrowed into other Germanic languages at an early date, compare Middle Dutch petercelle, petersilie, petrocelie, etc. (Dutch peterselie), Middle Low German pētersilie, Old High German pētarseli, pētersil (Middle High German pētrosil, pētersil, pētersilie, etc., German Petersilie), Old Swedish petersilia, persilia, etc. (early modern Swedish petersilja, petrosilja, etc., Swedish persilja), Danish persille, †petersilie. Compare also Italian petrosello (a1338).The forms passley, pasley reflect early assimilatory loss of r before s (see E. J. Dobson Eng. Pronunc. 1500–1700 (ed. 2, 1968) II. §401(c)). 1. the world > food and drink > food > fruit and vegetables > vegetables > herb > [noun] > parsley the world > plants > particular plants > cultivated or valued plants > particular food plant or plant product > particular vegetables > [noun] > culinary herbs > parsley α. eOE (Royal) (1865) ii. xxii. 206 Þa wyrt petersilian, & dile, & merces sæd oððe wyrttruman mid hunige sele þu him ælce dæge drincan.
