peresce  
  FEW:  par *7,601a Gdf: ∅ GdfC: ∅ TL: ∅ DEAF:  per (*)  DMF: ∅ TLF: ∅ OED: ∅ MED: ∅ DMLBS:  paritas 2117b

It is possible to read perice as perité and thus a variant of parité. However, the variant reading of peresce suggests that that this could represent a formation on the etymon par + the suffix itia. It is possible the word is related to paritio (DMLBS 2118a ‘obedience, compliance’.

s.

assertion of equality, parity:
