Semper paratus = Always prepared - Motto of the US Coast Guard.
It means 'Always prepared' - 'Paratus' is the past participle of the Latin verb 'paro', which has the parts paro, parare, paravi, paratus.
Parare = to prepare, to furnish/provide, to buy/put up, plan, eyc.
An English derivative is 'prepare'

Latin Paratus

Your question is complicated because there is a Greek word, para, which means alongside/beside/assisting. The word paralegal, for instance, derives from the Greek.
Parachute, however, is a Latin derivative; it means "protect from a fall" (it's originally a French word).
ETA: Just had a look at your additional info: maybe the word you are looking for is actually "prepare."

It means prepared, as in Semper Paratus - Always Prepared.
We do not get the prefix Para from this (as in paratrooper) beacuse its greek for a start and it means loads of things like:
alongside of, beside, near, resembling, beyond, apart from, and abnormal.

Maybe "parity" and "disparity"?
