Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- (“to bear, carry”). Cognates include Sanskrit भरति (bhárati), Ancient Greek φέρω (phérō), Old English beran (English bear).

The stem tul-, related to tollō, is from Proto-Indo-European *telh₂- (“to bear, support, suffer”), whence also English thole (“to endure”). The stem of lātus has the same source, reduced from *tlātus.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA: /ˈfe.roː/

Verb

present active ferō, present infinitive ferre, perfect active tulī, supine lātum. (irregular)

1. I bear, carry
2. I suffer, endure
3. I report

Inflection

Irregular, but resembling the third conjugation. The principal parts come from several different words originally.
