Definitions and meaning of pareve

pareve

Alternative forms

  • parev, parve

Etymology

Borrowed from Yiddish פּאַרעוו, פּאַרעווע (parev, pareve), of uncertain origin. Suggestions include:

  • Perhaps from Middle High German bar (“bare, naked”), from Proto-Germanic *bazaz (“bare, naked”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰosós, from *bʰos- (“bare, barefoot”), and thus cognate with English bare.
  • Perhaps from a West Slavic source such as Czech párový (“occurring in pairs”), because according to Jewish dietary laws, meat and milk cannot be combined, but as pareve food contains neither, it can be paired with either meat dishes or milk dishes.

Pronunciation

  • (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈpɑː.ɹə.və/
  • (General American) IPA(key): /ˈpɑ.ɹə.və/, IPA(key): /ˈpɑ.ɹəv/, IPA(key): /ˈpɑɹv/
  • Hyphenation: pa‧re‧ve

Adjective

pareve (not comparable)

  1. (Jewish law) Of food: that has no meat or milk in any form as an ingredient.
  2. (figuratively, by extension) Neutral, bland, inoffensive.

Usage notes

  • In Yiddish, פּאַרעוו (parev) is the predicative form and פּאַרעווע (pareve) the attributive form of the adjective. Some speakers familiar with Yiddish use this distribution in English as well, e.g., My mom made a pareve casserole but This casserole is parev.
