Etymology

From Middle English apperen, aperen, borrowed from Old French aparoir (French apparoir), from Latin appāreō (“to appear”), from ad (“to”) + pāreō (“to come forth, to become visible”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂-s- (“watch, see”), s-present of *peh₂- (“protect”).

Webster’s 1913

  1. verb To come or be in sight; to be in view; to become visible.
  2. verb To come before the public; as, a great writer appeared at that time.
  3. noun Appearance. [Obs.] J. Fletcher.

Etymology [OE. apperen, aperen, OF. aparoir, F. apparoir, fr. L. appar to appear + parto come forth, to be visible; prob. from the same root as par to produce. Cf. Apparent, Parent, Peer, v. i.]
