''Pari passu'' is a Latin phrase that literally means "with an equal step" or "on equal footing". It is sometimes translated as "ranking equally", "hand-in-hand", "with equal force", or "moving together", and by extension, "fairly", "without partiality".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/pari-passu.html )〕 ==Etymology== : * ''pari'' is the ablative singular masculine (since it must grammatically agree with ''passu'') of the adjective ''par'', "equal". If it were nominative, "an equal step" it would be ''par passus''. : * ''passu'' is the ablative of the Latin noun ''passus'', "step". This term is commonly used in law. ''Black's Law Dictionary'' (8th ed., 2004) defines ''pari passu'' as "proportionally; at an equal pace; without preference". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「pari passu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
