Origin

Late Middle English (chiefly in the sense 'small portion'): from Old French parcelle, from Latin particula 'small part'.

Latin particula ‘small part’, from pars source of part, has given us parcel. In early use it shared with part the notion of something forming a section of a larger whole, as in a parcel of land. This survives in contexts such as part and parcel [16th], and to parcel out. The modern sense developed in the 17th century and initially concentrated on its contents, which would usually be a quantity of a substance or a number of goods wrapped up in a single package.
