prettygoodwordparid (PAH-rid) - n., any of numerous small passerine birds of the family Paridae, the tits and chickadees.
No relationship to marid, sorry. The difference between a tit and a chickadee is that if it lives the Old World, it's a tit, and if it lives in the New World, it's a chickadee (unless it's a titmouse). Name is, via the family name, from Latin parus, tit (and by extension chickadee).
Thanks, WikiMedia!
