Etymology

From Latin comparativus (“comparative”), from comparō (“I compare, match, place together, couple”) (with the suffix -īvus (adjective suffix), from Proto-Indo-European *-iHwós, from *-wós), from compār (“equal, similar; comparable”) (with the suffix -ō, from Proto-Italic *-āō or *-aēō, from Proto-Indo-European *-eh₂-yé-ti, from *-eh₂ + *-yéti), from both con-, from cum (“(along) with, at”), from Old Latin com, from Proto-Italic *kom (“with, along, at”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱóm (“next to, at, with, along”), perhaps from *ḱe (deictic particle) + and from pār (“even, equal, suitable”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *perH- (“exchange”).
