The part people get wrong
Often misspelled as perade or parrade.
Same family: paraded, parading, parade (noun), procession, march. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: Parade came into English from French, where it meant a show or display, and ultimately traces back to a Latin word meaning to prepare or arrange. Over time, it shifted from meaning a general display to the specific idea of marching in public for others to see.
