[It is undoubtedly equivalent to O.E. _sperre_, or _spere_. Halliwell,
s.v. _Parred_, quotes “ȝe are _parred_ in . . . ȝe are so _spered_ in.”
So, too, the Ital. _sbarra_ is the Fr. _barre_. Cf. A.S. _sparran_, O.N.
_sperra_, Sc. _spar_. Hence the derivation of _park_, O.E. _parrock_, an
enclosure.]
