Translations

Verb

far (third-person singular simple present fars, present participle farring, simple past and past participle farred)

(transitive, rare) To send far away.
- 1864, Elizabeth Gaskell, Cousin Phillis

Etymology 2

From Latin far. Doublet of farro.

Noun

far (uncountable)

Spelt (a type of wheat, Triticum spelta), especially in the context of Roman use of it.
- 1756, Aurelius Cornelius Celsus, Medicine: In Eight Books, page 108
  A cataplasm made from any meal is heating, whether it be of wheat, or of far, or barley, or bitter vetch, ...
- 1872, John Cordy Jeaffreson, Brides and Bridals, volume 1, page 201:
  Our wedding-cake is the memorial of a practice, that bore a striking resemblance to, if it was not derived from, confarreatio, the form of marriage that had fallen into general disuse amongst the Romans in the time of Tiberius. Taking its name from the cake of far and mola salsa that was broken over the bride's head, confarreatio was attended with an incident that increases its resemblance to the way in which our ancestors used at their weddings objects symbolical of natural plentifulness.

Anagrams

Italian

Verb

far

Apocopic form of fare

Anagrams

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *b?ars- (“spike, prickle”) (compare Welsh bara (“bread”), English barley, Serbo-Croatian ???????, br?šno (“flour”), Albanian bar (“grass”), Ancient Greek ????? (Ph?ron, “plant deity”)).

Pronunciation

(Classical) IPA^(key): /far/, [fär]
(Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /far/, [f?r]
(Classical) IPA^(key): /?far.r/, [?fär?] (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 (f?r), 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.

Noun

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))
- ? Fay Glinister, “Festus and Ritual Foodstuffs” p. 220
coarse meal; grits

Declension

Third-declension noun (neuter, imparisyllabic non-i-stem).
