The word "parceled" is derived from the verb "parcel", which has its roots in the Old French word "parcelle". The Old French term initially came from the Latin word "particella", which means a small part or particle. Ultimately, the Latin term is a diminutive form of "pars", which translates to "part" or "piece". Over time, "parcel" evolved and became a verb meaning to divide or distribute into parts or portions.
