Inflections: Plural parerga.

Forms: 1600s parergaes (plural, irregular), 1600s parergas (plural, irregular), 1600s– parergon.

Compare earlier parergy n.Post-classical Latin parergon is recorded in the sense ‘something added to the main subject, esp. in painting’ in T. Elyot Dict. (1538). Compare its use in a title of an English work in sense 2b:1726 J. Ayliffe (title) Parergon Juris Canonici Anglicani: or, a commentary, by way of supplement to the Canons and Constitutions of the Church of England.The double plurals parergaes, parergas perhaps indicate that the plural parerga was occasionally mistaken for a singular.
