▪ I. † ˈperrie, ˈperry Obs. Chiefly poet.
Forms: α. 4–5 (6) perre, 4–5 perree, -ey, -eye, (4 perey, 5 pere, pirre, 6 pyrre). β. 4–5 perrye, -ie, 5–6 perry, (5 pery). γ. 5 pierrye, 6 pierrie, (9 pierie).
[a. OF. pierrie, pierie (Godefroy), syncopated form of pierrerie, OF. perrerie, f. pierre stone + -erie: see -ery 1.
The syncopated form is evidenced in 14–16th c. in Godef.; app. Anglo-Fr. must have had perrie (from perrerie, perr'rie, per'rie) as the source of 14th c. ME. perrie, perrye, whence later perry. In the forms perré (the earliest and most frequent in ME.), perree, perrey, -eye, the termination is not easy to account for. (? F. perré, -ée pa. pple. used sbst.; cf. Pr. peyrat:—L. petrātum.) The late 15th and 16th c. forms pierrye, pierrie followed later French.]
