Etymology

edit

Probably from Latin ferīre, present active infinitive of feriō (“strike”), of Proto-Indo-European origin, with a related but shifted semantic development in Romanian (with the meaning seeming to derive from the reaction to being struck or attacked). Other less likely explanations include a Vulgar Latin *auferīre, from an alteration of auferre (as with suferi < suffere). Compare Aromanian afirescu, afiriri. Some have tried to connect it, at least in the archaic or regional sense of "to celebrate a holiday", with a Vulgar Latin *fērīre, from fēriae.[1]

    • 1874, Alexandru Odobescu, Pseudokynegeticos, chapter 4:
      Aceștia trebuie să fie cu fața în sus, cu urechi păroase pe frunte, cu gura mare, astfel ca măselele căscate să verse foc mișcându-se, cu pântecele strânse îngust la vintre, cu coada scurtă, cu șale lungi, cu coama măruntă pe grumaz, nu prea stufoasă, dar îndestulă, ca să-i ferească de frig, iar sub umerii lor sănătoși să se-nalțe un piept care să ducă la alergătură multă și să nu se obosească de cele mai mari goane.
      These must have an upturned face, shaggy ears on the forehead, a big mouth so that the open teeth can blow fire while moving, an abdomen drawn narrow by the belly, a short tail, with long hips, a fine mane on the nape, not too thick, but sufficient, to guard then from the cold, and under their healthy shoulders must be a breast tolerant of much running and not growing tired of the longest strides.
    • 1880, Ion Creangă, The Bear Tricked by the Fox:
      Dar șireata vulpe știe cum să se ferească de mânia ursului.
      But the sly fox knows how to guard from the wrath of the bear.
  2. (transitive, rare) to duck, dodge, avoid

      A sleepy voice is heard shouting: avoid the line, avoid the line.
  3. (reflexive) to recoil, shirk
