Etymology
[1437] Borrowed from Middle French funerailles pl (“funeral rites”), from Medieval Latin f?ner?lia (“funeral rites”), originally neuter plural of Late Latin f?ner?lis (“having to do with a funeral”), from Latin f?nus (“funeral, death, corpse”), origin unknown, perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *d?ew- (“to die”). Singular and plural used interchangeably in English until circa 1700. The adjective funereal is first attested 1725, by influence of Middle French funerail, from Latin funereus, from funus.
