[edit] Etymology

From Middle English false from Old English fals "false, fraud, falsehood" from Latin, falsus "counterfeit, false, falsehood" from fallere "to deceive". Uncommon before the 12 century, the word was reinforced in Middle English by Norman fals (cf Old French faus). Displaced native Middle English les, lese "false" from Old English lēas.
