Usage notes
- As a suffix in certain compounds (listed separately below) this word takes on the meaning of "road", "ramp" or "journey", just like German Fahrt or Swedish färd, rather than the standalone meaning of speed. Similar compounds with the suffix -färd exist, with slightly different meaning.
- In many compounds and in more formal or scientific use, speed translates to hastighet (“velocity”) rather than fart.
