Etymology edit

Uncertain. According to De Vaan, from Proto-Italic *falsō, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)gʷʰh₂el- (“to stumble”), and cognate with Sanskrit स्खल् (skhal, “to stumble, fail”), Persian سکرفیدن (sekarfidan, “to stumble”), Ancient Greek σφάλλω (sphállō, “to bring down”), σφάλλομαι (sphállomai, “to fall”), Old Armenian սխալեմ (sxalem, “to stumble, fail”).

Formerly considered to be from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰwel- (“to lie, deceive”), but this does not account for the /a/.

Pronunciation edit

Verb edit

fallō (present infinitive fallere, perfect active fefellī, supine falsum); third conjugation

  1. to deceive, beguile, trick, cheat, delude, ensnare, disappoint
    Synonyms: dēcipiō, mentior, frūstror, ēlūdō, dēstituō, fraudō, circumdūcō, circumveniō, ingannō, indūcō
    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.296–297:
      At rēgīna dolōs – quis fallere possit amantem? – praesēnsit [...].
      But the queen suspected his deceit – Who could be able to delude a lover? – [...].
      (The irony is that a lover can be both extremely perceptive and easily misled.)
  2. (reflexive) to mistake, be mistaken, deceive oneself
    • 426 CE, Augustine of Hippo, De civitate Dei contra paganos, 11.26:
      Si enim fallor, sum. Nam qui non est, utique nec falli potest; ac per hoc sum, si fallor. Quia ergo sum si fallor, quo modo esse me fallor, quando certum est me esse, si fallor? Quia igitur essem qui fallerer, etiamsi fallerer, procul dubio in eo quod me novi esse, non fallor.
      Well, if I am mistaken, I exist. For a man who does not exist can surely not be mistaken either, and if I am mistaken, therefore I exist. So, since I am if I am mistaken, how can I be mistaken in believing that I am when it is certain that if I am mistaken I am. Therefore, from the fact that, if I were indeed mistaken, I should have to exist to be mistaken, it follows that I am undoubtedly not mistaken in knowing that I am. [tr. David S. Wiesen]
  3. to escape the notice of, be unseen
  4. to appease, beguile
  5. to swear falsely, perjure
