[edit]Latin
[edit]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]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /far/, [fär]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /far/, [fär]
- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈfar.r/, [ˈfärː] (before a vowel)
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
- 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:― Fay Glinister, “Festus and Ritual Foodstuffs” p. 220
- 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.
- Ante, deos homini quod conciliare valeret, / far erat et puri lucida mica salis.
- coarse meal; grits

Scottish Gaelic
[edit]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”).
Adverb
[edit]far
- where (relative/non-interrogative)
- Bha e cunnartach far an robh am balach ag iasgach. ― It was dangerous where the boy was fishing.

Breatnach (1973) “The relative adverb mar a”, in Celtica, volume 10, pages 167–170: “As regards Sc. far a, all I can suggest is that the initial f- is possibly to be referred to the /v-/ variants instanced among the M.Ir. forms of baile i listed above. But fail may be a more likely influence;”
