compare

compare: [15] Compare comes via Old French comparer from Latin comparāre ‘couple, match’, a verb based on the adjective compar ‘equal’, a compound formed from the prefix com- ‘mutually’ and pār ‘equal’ (source of English pair, peer, and parity). The Latin derivative noun comparātiō gave Old French comparesoun and hence English comparison [14].
=> pair, par, parity, peer

compare (v.)

late 14c., from Old French comparer (12c., Modern French comparer), from Late Latin comparare "to liken, to compare" (see comparison). Related: Compared; comparing. To compare notes is from 1708. Phrase without compare (attested from 1620s, but similar phrasing dates to 1530s) seems to be altered by folk etymology from compeer "rival."
