appear: [13] Appear comes via Old French apareir from Latin appārēre, a compound verb formed from the prefix ad- and pārēre ‘show, become visible’ (related to Greek peparein ‘display’). Appārēre was also the ultimate source of apparent [14], via its present participial stem appārent-, and of apparition [15], via its noun derivative appāritiō. => apparent, apparition
