falêr

Franco-Provençal

Etymology

Origin unclear, it might either be a pure recreation from French falloir, or it might be - as modern French falloir - from a changing of Old Franco-Provençal falyir, fallir after its third person singular, faut, earlier *falt (from Latin fallit), based off the model of valêr. Falyir derives in turn from Vulgar Latin fallīre, from Latin fallere, fallō.
