Uncertain. Possibly:

  1. From Proto-Indo-European *bʰers- (tip, point), whence also Latin far (emmer, spelt), Proto-Germanic *baraz (barley) and Proto-Slavic *boršьno (flour).[1][2]
  2. Akin to Ancient Greek φάρμακον (phármakon, drug, medicine), from a tentative common Proto-Indo-European root *bʰer- (cure with herbs).[3][4]
  3. From Proto-Indo-European *bʰewH- (to grow), whence also Ancient Greek φυτόν (phutón, plant), Old Armenian բոյս (boys, plant).[5]

Sense 4 is likely a semantic loan from English weed, French herbe or Italian erba.
