fartheradv.adj.

Brit.

/ˈfɑːðə/, U.S.

/ˈfɑrðər/

Forms: Middle English–1500s ferder, ferdre, Middle English ferþer(e, Middle English–1500s ferthere, Middle English–1700s farder, Middle English– farther.

Etymology: Middle English ferþer (whence by normal phonetic development farther ) is in origin a mere variant of further n., due probably to the analogy of the verb ferþren < Old English fyrðrian to further v. The primary sense of further, farther is ‘more forward, more onward’; but this sense is practically coincident with that of the comparative of far, where the latter word refers to real or attributed motion in some particular direction. Hence further, farther came to be used as the comparative of far; first in the special application just mentioned, and ultimately in all senses, displacing the regular comparative farrer. In standard English the form farther is usually preferred where the word is intended to be the comparative of far, while further is used where the notion of far is altogether absent; there is a large intermediate class of instances in which the choice between the two forms is arbitrary.

A. adv.
