I’m not doing all the work. Do the Latin (tiny bit of Greek) and identify the works of art. I’ll give you a hoist.
Parca is a verb meaning spare. These words always confused me: audi “hear”, exaudi “graciously hear” hmm From ralspaugh.wordpress.com, I got this – “To get the sense, compare with specto and exspecto. Specto is simply to look, while exspecto means to be on the lookout, to scan the horizon like a sentry for the anticipated arrival of a thing—hence, mundanely, to await. “Exaudio is the same thing but with listening, like when the fainting damsel in the horror movie is hiding in the dark house listening for sounds of the intruder. “Colloquially we might say. ‘Listen up, what I say next is important!’ or something like that. That’s the kind of attentive listening we are asking of God, not just that He happen to hear our prayers.” That was good.
