This article appears in Volume V20, Page 798 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PARCEL (Fr. parcelle, Ital. particella, Lat. particela, diminutive of pars, part) , a small
part
  or division of anything; particularly, in the law of real
property
  and conveyancing, a portion of a
manor
  or estate, and so the name of that portion of a legal document, such as a
conveyance
  or lease relating to lands, which contains a description of the estate dealt with. The word is also used of a package of goods contained in a wrapping or cover for transmission by
carriage
 , &c., or by
post
 ; hence the f erm "
parcel
 -
post
  " for the branch of the post-
office
  service which deals with the transmission of such packages. "
Parcel
  " was formerly used in an adverbial or quasi-adverbial sense, meaning " partly," " to some extent," thus " parcel-
Protestant
 ," " parcel-lawyer," &c. This use survives in " parcel-gilt," i.e. partly gilt, a
term
  applied to articles made of silver with a gilt lining.
