Par \Par\, prep. [F., fr. L. per. See Per.]
   By; with; -- used frequently in Early English in phrases
   taken from the French, being sometimes written as a part of
   the word which it governs; as, par amour, or paramour; par
   cas, or parcase; par fay, or parfay.
   [1913 Webster]

Par \Par\, n. [L. par, adj., equal. See Peer an equal.]
   [1913 Webster]
   1. Equal value; equality of nominal and actual value; the
      value expressed on the face or in the words of a
      certificate of value, as a bond or other commercial paper.
      [1913 Webster]

   2. Equality of condition or circumstances.
      [1913 Webster]

   3. An amount which is taken as an average or mean. [Eng.]
      [Webster 1913 Suppl.]

   4. (Golf) The number of strokes required for a hole or a
      round played without mistake, two strokes being allowed on
      each hole for putting. Par represents perfect play,
      whereas bogey makes allowance on some holes for human
      frailty. Thus if par for a course is 75, bogey is usually
      put down, arbitrarily, as 81 or 82. If par for one hole is
      5, a bogey is 6, and a score of 7 strokes would be a
      double bogey.
      [Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC]

   At par, at the original price; neither at a discount nor at

      (a) less than the expected or usual quality; -- of the

Bogey \Bo"gey\, n.; pl. Bogeys. [Also bogie and bogy,
   plural bogies.]
   1. A goblin; a bugbear.

   Syn: bogeyman.

   2. (Golf) a score one stroke over par for a hole; formerly,
      the definition of bogey was the same as that now used for
      par, i.e., an ideal score or number of strokes, for each
      hole, against which players compete; -- it was said to be
      so called because assumed to be the score of an imaginary
      first-rate player called Colonel Bogey. Now the standard
      score is called par.
      [Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC]

   3. (Mil.) an unidentified aircraft; in combat situations,
