Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Italic *ferjō, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰerH- (to pierce, strike) through *bʰér-ye-ti perhaps with root-final laryngeal dropped in a prevocalic position;[1] the o-grade reflex is attested in forō. Cognate with Albanian bie (to fall), Old English ġebered (crushed, kneaded), English berry (to beat, thrash), Old Armenian բերան (beran), Ancient Greek φᾰ́ρος (pháros, plough), φαράω (pharáō).[2] More at berry.

Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer- (to scrape, to cut). Compare Middle Irish berna, Old High German berjan, Middle High German berjen, Old English bered, Avestan 𐬙𐬌𐬲𐬌𐬠𐬁𐬭𐬀 (tižibāra).

Verb

[edit]

    Synonyms: tango, percutio, pello, discutio, pulsō, tundō, accido, affligo, percello, impingo, ico, verbero, vulnerō, secō, noceō

    • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.102–103:
      Tālia iactantī, strīdēns Aquilōne procellā
      vēlum adversa ferit, flūctūsque ad sīdera tollit.
      [Even as Aeneas is] crying out such [great words], a gust howling from the Northwind is striking [his] sail full on, and raising up waves to heaven.
      (The description of waves reaching the sky exemplifies hyperbole. The Northwind: See Aquilo; Anemoi, Anemoi.)
  2. to cut, to thrust
  3. (with accusative) to kill by striking, to slay, to give a deathblow
    aliquem securi ferire.
    To behead someone with an axe.

    • moneyer; in the Roman Republic, the abbreviation III. VIR. AAAFF. or even III. VIR. A.P.F. (tresviri ad pecuniam feriundum) was written on the coins, but it stood for:
      Tresviri aere argento auro flando feriundo.
      Three men for striking and casting bronze, silver and copper coins.
  5. to make a deal or contract or compact, covenant, or treaty
    Synonyms: ī̆cō, percutiō, pacīscor, pangō
  6. (figuratively) to strike, reach, affect

Usage notes

[edit]
  • Perfect and passive forms are rare. Perfect forms and perfect passive participle are usually supplied by its synonym, percutio. Sometimes ictus, the perfect passive participle of īcō, is used.
  • The verb form feriunt (they strike) had the archaic spelling ferinunt.
