Etymology

Area word:

• Proto-Sino-Tibetan *bjar ~ *p(i/u)r (“to fly”) > Tibetan འཕུར ('phur),
• Proto-Mon-Khmer *par (“to fly”) > Old Mon ပဝ် (pɔ); Proto-Vietic *pər (“to fly”) (> Vietnamese bay).

Cognate with 翂 (OC *pɯn, “appearance of birds flying slowly”), 𦐈 (“fly, soar”), 奮 (OC *pɯns, “spread wings and fly”).

Cantonese sense "fare" is from English fare.
