Hence and therefore, and in short, par excellence means better or more than all others, all others, that is, of the same kind.
In our example, the moon-god lords it over all other gods. It’s more revered and more honored and loved than other such deities.
All right?
All right. Oh, do not use “par excellence” in your own writing – unless you know exactly what you’re doing. After all, “par excellence” is formal language and it is, don’t forget, French in origin.
If you have to use it, make sure you are using it in a formal setting and make sure that as adjective it follows a noun. For example, say a good cook is a chef par excellence or a politician is one par excellence.
Never say someone is a par excellence chef or somebody is a par excellence politician. No, it doesn’t sound right.
You may say, though, that the chef is par excellence or that the politician is par excellence in honesty.
Odd? Well, after all, par excellence is French.
Here are “par excellence” examples in the media:
1. An actor par excellence, Pankaj Kapoor has been around since the early days of soaps and comedy shows on television in the country. Generations who have grown on Karamchand and Zabaan Sambhaal Ke are still hooked on his Office Office, currently running on Sabe TV.
Although largely identified with comedy, the hugely talented actor has regularly shunned mainstream cinema for fear of being slotted. He is choosy about the characters he has to portray and is a self-acknowledged stickler for perfection. Despite his stellar performances and the awards these have drawn, Kapoor has always shied away from the limelight, preferring his work to speak for him instead. Hetal Adesara spent time with Kapoor between shoots to find out what makes the actor tick. Excerpts -
