Etymology 1

[edit]

    Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰardʰéh₂ (beard). Since PIE *bʰ normally became [f] at the start of a Latin word, the initial [b] calls for some explanation. It is generally attributed to long-distance regressive assimilation in voicing and/or manner of articulation (e.g. *farb- > barb-).

    De Vaan reconstructs Proto-Italic *farβā (perhaps from earlier *farðā) on the assumption that Italian farfecchie (moustache) is borrowed from a cognate word in another Italic language. If this reconstruction is correct, then the assimilation discussed above must have postdated the common Italic stage.
