Guess the Word in Romlangs

[zyma]

If I'm correct in assuming it's a verb phrase, is cors the direct object?

You are, and it is.

You are, and it is.

I don't have much of a basis for this other than the way the word looks, but does it mean "heart", or is it somehow related to Latin cor?

It is not related to Latin cor, no.

[Zekoslav]

Is it related to Latin corpus? And is pareïr related to Latin parere/parescere?

[Jackk]

Is it related to Latin corpus? And is pareïr related to Latin parere/parescere?

No to both, I'm afraid.

[Zekoslav]

Is cors maybe from cursus and par- from per- ?

[Jackk]

Is cors maybe from cursus and par- from per- ?

cursus yes, per- no.

[Zekoslav]

Is par- from any prefix in Latin or is it part of the root?

If it's part of the root is it maybe related to or even borrowed from French parader?

It is part of the root, but not related at all to French parader.

parificere?

[zyma]

Is the -s in cors a plural marker?

[Jackk]

Is the -s in cors a plural marker?

It is not – it is part of the root.

parificere?

There is no attested (Classical/Vulgar) Latin verb which is ancestor to pareïr – it is a later derivation.

Oh, I missed the bit about cursus above.

Is the verb derived from a noun?

Is the verb derived from a noun?

No, an adjective.

No, an adjective.

Makes sense considering the verb ends in -ir (productive ending for deadjectival verbs in Romance). Am I correct in assuming that it's derived simply by adding -ir, making pare- the stem? If so, is the adjective related to French pareil?

Correct on both fronts! (although the stem is actually parei-, the <ï> being originally a ligature of <ii>).

Now what could that mean... the adjective usually means "equal" or "similar". Is it equalize or something similar? Compare?

I'd say "equalise" is closer than "compare", but it has rather a specific meaning (which relates to its object cors).

[Zekoslav]

Not being a native English speaker may get the best of me since my wording may be inexact... assuming cors still means something like 'way', does it mean "to level a road"? Reminds me of what John the Baptist says in the Gospels but it may have a more physical sense here, ofc.
