paraveredus

Latin[edit]

From Ancient Greek παρά (pará) +‎ verēdus, perhaps an analogical formation to parhippus from Ancient Greek πάριππος (párippos). Cf. epiraedium (“cart, barrow”), similarly formed of a Greek prefix and a Gaulish root, which may indicate a Gallo-Greek provenance in both cases.

(Classical) IPA^(key): /pa.ra.u̯eˈreː.dus/, [päräu̯ɛˈreːd̪ʊs̠]
(modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /pa.ra.veˈre.dus/, [päräveˈrɛːd̪us]

paraverēdus m (genitive paraverēdī); second declension

(Late Latin) a horse for travel off public roads or to out of the way places
1. (specifically) a gift of palfrey (such a horse offered as a tribute by provincials to visiting public officials)

Often found alongside (par)angaria.
