Etymology

From Middle English parboyle, from Old French parbouillir (to boil thoroughly), from Medieval Latin perbulliō, from Latin per (thoroughly) + bulliō (I boil). Sense to boil partially (c.1440), rather than original to boil thoroughly is by corruption: associating the prefix with part (from Latin pars (part)) rather than per.
