feriae

1. plural of feria

• faerie, færie

• fēria sg

From Proto-Italic *fēz-io-, *fēzja-, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeh₁s-yo-, from *dʰéh₁s (“god, godhead, deity”), related to Latin fēstus (“festive”). Cognate with Ancient Greek θεῖος (theîos, “divine”) and Oscan 𐌚𐌉𐌝𐌔𐌝𐌀𐌉𐌔 (fiísíais), 𐌚𐌉𐌉𐌔𐌉𐌉𐌔 (fiisiis), 𐌚𐌉𐌔𐌉𐌀𐌝𐌔 (fisiaís, dat.-abl. pl.). In classical Latin, rendered plural even for singular instances by the Latin treatment of most recurring calendrical days;[1][2] singular usage is a development in Late Latin.
