Etymology 1 Edit

From Middle Dutch vāren (“to go, travel”), from Old Dutch faran, from Proto-West Germanic *faran, from Proto-Germanic *faraną. The restriction to “travel by water” comes (expectably) from the western dialects; the more general sense survives in the east, but is no longer part of standard Dutch.

  • audio(file)
  • Hyphenation: va‧ren
  • Rhymes: -aːrən

  1. to sail, to go by boat, to navigate
  2. to ascend or descend
