1550s, in grammar, "to state the part of speech of a word or the words in a sentence," a verbal use of Middle English pars (n.) "part of speech" (c. 1300), from Old French pars, plural of part "a part," from Latin pars "a part, piece" (from PIE root *pere- (2) "to grant, allot") in the school question, Quae pars orationis? "What part of speech?" Transferred (non-grammatical) use is by 1788. Pars also was a common plural of part (n.) in early Middle English. Related: Parsed; parsing.”
Good stuff, generally, but I don’t think pointing to Jesus is a good answer. The New Testament, which is written by Romans who designed the character Jesus for their purposes, embedded logocentric thought into his messages. Jesus still concludes that you should serve a master instead of being free.

Nah. You ain’t gotta.
My work sticks to John and Matthew, in Greek. There's a lot of linguistic and epistemological gold there that I've never seen a religionist document.
Nice. I always love hearing your insights. It aligns with a lot of what I understand. Thanks.
He who makes a thing, owns the thing and controls the thing. No one is free. Even Bob Dylan figured that out: you gotta serve somebody.
