Etymology 2
From Latin far. Doublet of farro.

- Spelt (a type of wheat, Triticum spelta), especially in the context of Roman use of it.
- 1756, Aurelius Cornelius Celsus, Medicine: In Eight Books, page 108

- 1857, John Marius Wilson, The Rural Cyclopedia:

Taking its name from the cake of far and mola salsa that was broken over the bride's head, confarreatio was attended with an incident that increases its resemblance to the way in which our ancestors used at their weddings objects symbolical of natural plentifulness.

Etymology
Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰers- (“spike, prickle”) (compare Welsh bara (“bread”), English barley, Serbo-Croatian brȁšno (“flour”), Albanian bar (“grass”), Ancient Greek Φηρῶν (Phērôn, “plant deity”)).
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /far/, [fär]
- (Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /far/, [fär]
- (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈfar.r/, [ˈfärː] (before a vowel)
The nominative-accusative singular form scans as a long syllable in Ovid (cited below). Therefore, some sources mark the vowel in this form as long (fār), but an alternative explanation is that despite being spelled with a single letter r, this word form was pronounced with the underlying geminate /rr/ of the stem when the following word started with a vowel.[1]
Noun
far n (genitive farris); third declension
- farro, a type of hulled wheat. (Most likely emmer (Triticum dicoccum or Triticum turgidum subsp. dicoccon) but often mistranslated as spelt (Triticum spelta))[2][3]
- 8 CE, Ovid, Fasti 1.338:― Fay Glinister, “Festus and Ritual Foodstuffs” p. 220
- ante, deos homini quod conciliare valeret, / far erat et puri lucida mica salis.
- of old, the means to win the goodwill of the gods were far and sparkling grains of pure salt
- ante, deos homini quod conciliare valeret, / far erat et puri lucida mica salis.
- coarse meal; grits

Third-declension noun (neuter, imparisyllabic non-i-stem).

Etymology 1
From Arabic فَأْر (faʾr, “mouse”).
Noun
far m (plural firien, feminine fara)
- rat
- (archaic) mouse
Usage notes
- Originally, far meant “mouse” and ġurdien meant “rat”. The distinction was then widely lost and both words are attestable in both senses. Today, ġurdien is the predominant word for both species, while far is used chiefly for “rat”, but is less common.

Scottish Gaelic
Etymology 1
Possibly from Middle Irish i mbaile (“where”) from Old Irish baile (“place”) (with later early modern forms like a bhail a bhfuil, bhal a bhfuil) or from Old Irish fail (“where”), perhaps influenced by mar (“as, like”), related to Irish mar (“where”).
Adverb
far
- where (relative/non-interrogative)
- Bha e cunnartach far an robh am balach ag iasgach. ― It was dangerous where the boy was fishing.

- R. A. Breatnach (1973), “The relative adverb mar a”, in Celtica, volume 10, pages 167–170: “As regards Sc. far a, all I can suggest is that the initial f- is possibly to be referred to the /v-/ variants instanced among the M.Ir. forms of baile i listed above. But fail may be a more likely influence;”
