The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003):

parse
 vt.

    1. To determine the syntactic structure of a sentence or other utterance
    (close to the standard English meaning). ?That was the one I saw you.? ?I
    can't parse that.?

    2. More generally, to understand or comprehend. ?It's very simple; you just
    kretch the glims and then aos the zotz.? ?I can't parse that.?

    3. Of fish, to have to remove the bones yourself. ?I object to parsing fish
    ?, means ?I don't want to get a whole fish, but a sliced one is okay?. A
    parsed fish has been deboned. There is some controversy over whether
    unparsed should mean ?bony?, or also mean ?deboned?.

parsed
parsing

    An algorithm or program to determine the
   syntactic structure of ("to parse") a sentence or string of
   symbols in some language.  A parser normally takes as input
   a sequence of tokens output by a lexical analyser.  It may
   produce some kind of abstract syntax tree as output.  A
   parser may be produced automatically from a grammar by a
   parser generator such as yacc.

   A parser is normally part of some larger program, like a
   compiler, which takes the output of the parser and attempts
   to extract meaning from it in some way, e.g. translating it
   into another language.
