To discuss or parley with; to hold a conversation or negotiation.
From em- + parl- (from 'parley,' which comes from Old French 'parler' meaning 'to speak'). The em- prefix intensifies the action of speaking together.
This word is essentially a doubled-up way to say 'parley'—adding em- to an already verbal noun shows how medieval English loved intensifying prefixes, creating synonyms that were slightly more emphatic than their roots.
