Impers.: paret, it is clear, evident, manifest (class.):

quid porro quaerendum est? factumne sit? at constat. A quo? at paret,

Cic. Mil. 6, 15.—Esp. in the formula si paret, if it appear, if it be proved, Cic. Rosc. Com. 4, 11; id. Verr 2, 2, 12, § 31; cf.:

si paret adversum edictum fecisse,

id. ib. 2, 3, 28, § 69; 2, 3, 22, § 55; Fest. p. 233 Müll.:

paritum est,

Dig. 31, 1, 67; ib. 6, 1, 5; Petr. 137; cf. II. 2. a. supra.—Hence, pārens, entis, P. a., obedient:

parentiores exercitus,

Cic. Off. 1, 22, 76 (al. paratiores).—

Subst.: pārens, entis, comm., a subject:

parentes abunde habemus,

Sall. J. 102, 7:

vi quidem regere patriam aut parentes quamquam possis, etc.,

id. ib. 3, 2:

ex voluntate parentium occupare principatum,

Vell. 2, 108; and so Tac. A. 1, 59, acc. to Bötticher (but parentes, in this passage, signifies parents; cf. Kritz on Sall. C. 6, 5).
