Etymology
1. c.1250, from O.Fr.
aper-, stem of
apareir, from L.
apparere "to appear," from
ad- "to" +
perere "to come forth, be visible."
Appearance "look, aspect" is from c.1385.
2. From Middle English apperen, aperen, borrowed from Old French aparoir (French apparoir), from Latin appāreō (“to appear”), from ad (“to”) + pāreō (“to come forth, to become visible”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂-s- (“watch, see”), s-present of *peh₂- (“protect”). See: Old French '
aparoir', French '
apparoir', Latin '
appāreō'.
