Parity

Parity

<pah-rit-tee>

unity; balance; uniformity;

being equal in amount or quantity.

The artist gave me a valuable painting. It was in parity to the money I would have received.

Memory trick:
parity reminds of pair.
two alike things are a pair.

At work:
The parity of the deal was good. We get new clients and they get our technology. It was an equal exchange.
