pairls
/pɛːlz/(also perils, perls) Scottish (now chiefly southern )
noun
Paralysis, palsy. Usually with the.
Origin
Early 17th century; earliest use found in Alexander Montgomerie (c1550–1598), poet and courtier. Variant of palsy, with loss of the ending, perhaps arising by false analysis of plural forms as showing a stem with final -s plus a plural ending.
