Etymology

edit

From Proto-Italic *fars (“flour, grain”),[1] possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰars-, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰers- (“spike, prickle”); compare Welsh bara (“bread”), English barley, Serbo-Croatian brȁšno (“flour”), Albanian bar (“grass”), Ancient Greek Φηρῶν (Phērôn, “plant deity”).

Pronunciation

edit

The nominative-accusative singular form scans as a long syllable in Ovid (cited below). Therefore, some sources mark the vowel in this form as long (fār), but an alternative explanation is that despite being spelled with a single letter r, this word form was pronounced with the underlying geminate /rr/ of the stem when the following word started with a vowel.[2]

Noun

edit

far n (genitive farris); third declension

  1. farro, a type of hulled wheat. (Most likely emmer (Triticum dicoccum or Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccon) but often mistranslated as spelt (Triticum spelta)) [3] [4]
    • 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 1.338:
      Ante, deos homini quod conciliare valeret, / far erat et puri lucida mica salis.
      Of old, the means to win the goodwill of the gods were far and sparkling grains of pure salt.

Etymology 1

edit

Possibly from Middle Irish i mbaile (“where”) from Old Irish baile (“place”) (with later early modern forms like a bhail a bhfuil, bhal a bhfuil) or from Old Irish fail (“where”), perhaps influenced by mar (“as, like”), related to Irish mar (“where”).

far

  1. where (relative/non-interrogative)
