Parley (parli or parlei) is a discussion or conference, especially one between enemies over terms of truce or other matters. The root of the word parley is parlée, which is from the French verb parler "to speak"., specifically the conjugation "parlez" "you(pl) speak", whether as imperative or indicative.

Beginning in the High Middle Ages with the expansion of monarchs, a parley, or "talk", was a meeting held between kings and their chief retainers. Parleys were part of the many changes in Europe, especially regarding governments. These meetings can be attributed to the formation of parliaments, which are derived from a similar root, parliamentum, simply meaning "talking".

Parlay means (from the Pirates of the Caribbean Complete Visual Guide):
The right of parlay, once invoked, allows the pirate to speak out his/her terms fully. The pirate may not be harmed before he/she has had his/her say.

A little difficult to explain, but it comes from the French word "parler", to speak. "Parlez-vous Francais?"

"French. LATIn based of course. Creators of mayonaise!" Lol! Quote from a deleted scene in the first movie. "According to the code of the brethren, you can do me no harm if I declare parley!" Or something like that.
