What It Means
Parry has two basic meanings. To parry can be to defend yourself by turning away from or pushing aside a weapon, assault, etc., or to evadesomething, such as a question, especially by using a clever response.
// Players of the game must unfailingly parry blows from multiple varied attackers while progressing through a series of worlds.
//She is consistently able to parry even the most difficult questions reporters level at her.
That's a word I don't often hear. Except maybe in a spelling bee.
