Probably from parget (verb) (perhaps influenced by sparge (verb)), from Old French porjeter, progeter, pourgeter (“to cast; to plaster a wall”) (compare Old French parjeter (“to cast (especially light) widely”); Middle French pourgetter (Lille and Tournai), Norman porjeter (“to plaster”); French pordjèter (“to add mortar between stones”) (Liège and Namur)), from Old French por- (“through”) + jeter (“to throw”), from Latin porrō (“further; onwards”) + Vulgar Latin, Late Latin iectāre, from Latin iactāre (“to cast, hurl, throw; to scatter, toss”) (compare Latin parjactare, purjettare, pargettare, progettare). The noun form of parge was derived from the verb.
