History
Etymology
Inherited from Middle English peritorie, from Anglo-Norman paritarie, peritorie, from Late Latin parietāria (“the herb pellitory (noun)”), from parietarius (“of or belonging to a wall (adjective)”), which the modern English form has been remodelled on. Compare pellitory, parietal.
