Etymology 1

[edit]

From Middle Dutch vāren (“to go, travel”), from Old Dutch faran, from Proto-West Germanic *faran, from Proto-Germanic *faraną. The restriction to “travel by water” comes (expectably) from the western dialects; the more general sense survives in the east, but is no longer part of standard Dutch.

Verb

[edit]

varen

  1. to sail, to go by boat, to navigate
  2. to ascend or descend
  3. to fare
  4. (archaic or dialectal, eastern) to travel over land, to go by bike, car, train etc.
Conjugation
