Definition of pace from Merriam-Webster:




(Entry 3 of 3): contrary to the opinion of — usually used as an expression of deference to someone's contrary opinion.




The MW provides the following example sentence, in which "pace" is used after a comma for a parenthetical purpose.




  • Easiness is a virtue in grammar, pace old-fashioned grammarians.



The English Oxford Living Dictionaries also provides the similar examples sentences, like Merriam-Webster; the preposition "pace" is used for a parenthetical purpose:




  • ‘narrative history, pace some theorists, is by no means dead’


  • ‘And none of these - pace your earlier comments - have gimps, do they?’


  • ‘Legislation development services, pace my learned friend's submissions, clearly can include some forms of advertising.’




My Question: is this the only way to use the preposition "pace"? or there are uses of it other than using it merely for a parenthetical purpose.

          Yes, that’s the more common usage. From OLD:



          Pace:




          used before a person’s name to express polite disagreement with what they have said:



          • The evidence suggests, pace Professor Jones, that… (= Professor Jones has a different opinion)



          As noted in Etymonline, Pace (prep.):




          "with the leave of," 1863, from Latin pace, ablative of pax "peace," as in pace tua "with all deference to you;" from PIE root *pag- "to fasten." "Used chiefly as a courteous or ironical apology for a contradiction or difference of opinion" [OED].

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
