N.E.D. (1905) also records a form late Middle English parjury.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French parjurie; Latin periūrium.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman parjurie, perjurie (c1292 or earlier; compare Middle French parjurie (1530 in an apparently isolated attestation)) and its etymon classical Latin periūrium false oath, oath-breaking < periūrus perjure adj. + -ium (see -y suffix⁴). Compare Old Occitan perjuria (early 13th cent.), Catalan †perjuries , plural noun (12th cent.). Compare earlier perjure n.¹

a. The action of swearing to or solemnly affirming the truth of a statement which one knows to be false; (Law) the action or offence of wilfully giving false evidence or testimony under oath. Also: the action of taking an oath which it is not one's intention to keep.From at least the 12th cent., perjury constituted the offence under ecclesiastical law of breaking an oath, irrespective of whether this had been taken within or outside judicial proceedings. From this time until the 16th cent. the English church courts were thus able to establish a considerable jurisdiction over petty debt litigation, entertaining suits for breach of contract which had been made under oath. Royal opposition to this encroachment into the temporal jurisdiction of the King's courts was articulated as early as 1164, in the Constitutions of Clarendon, but it was not until the Tudor period that ecclesiastical jurisdiction over such contractual disputes was finally ousted.As an offence of witnesses, perjury does not appear until trial by jury had evolved to the point where juries were called upon to judge the truth of evidence sworn to by witnesses under oath, a development not complete until the mid 15th cent. Punishment of the nominate offence of perjury by witnesses was first stipulated for by a series of statutes beginning in the Tudor period with II Hen. VII, c.25 and 5 Eliz., c.9.In quot. a1393 personified.
