Origin

Middle English: from Old French parlement 'speaking', from the verb parler.

A parliament is historically just a talking shop. It originates from French parler ‘to talk’, which goes back to Latin parabola ‘word’ (see parable). Parlour (Middle English), originally a place for speaking, comes from the same root.
