/ˈfərðər/

Forms: Old English furðra (Northumbrian forðora), Middle English furþur, Middle English furþer(e, Middle English–1600s forþer(e, -ther, Orm. forrtherr, (Middle English forthre), 1500s–1600s furder, Middle English–1600s forder, 1500s forthir, 1500s– further. See also farther v.

Etymology: Old English furðra = Old Frisian fordera , Old Saxon forthoro (Middle Low German vordere ), Old High German ford(e)ro , fordaro , fordoro (Middle High German vordere , modern German vorder ) < Old Germanic *furþeron- weak, < *furþero- strong (the accusative neuter of which appears in further adv.) < pre-Germanic pr̥-tero- , < root of fore adv. + comparative suffix as in af-ter, o-ther. On this assumption the English further adjective and adverb have nothing but their ultimate root in common with the Gothic faurþis adverb < Old Germanic *furþ-iz or *furþ-joz , < the stem of forth v. + comparative suffix = -er suffix³. A different hypothesis (Kluge in Paul's Grdr., ed. 2, I. 483) is that further and its cognates are from the stem of forth v. + comparative suffix (not -izon- but) -eron- , -uron- , as in inner , outer (see -er suffix³ 1b). The Old High German furdir adverb is explained by Kluge as representing a locative *furþirî.

See also farther v. Etymology: Old English furðra = Old Frisian fordera , Old Saxon forthoro (Middle Low German vordere ), Old High German ford(e)ro , fordaro , fordoro (Middle High German vordere , modern German vorder ) < Old Germanic furþeron- weak, < furþero- strong (the accusative neuter of which appears in further adv.) < pre-Germanic pr̥-tero- , < root of fore adv. + comparative suffix as in af-ter, o-ther. On this assumption the English further adjective and adverb have nothing but their ultimate root in common with the Gothic faurþis adverb < Old Germanic furþ-iz or furþ-joz , < the stem of forth v. + comparative suffix = -er suffix³. A different hypothesis (Kluge in Paul's Grdr., ed. 2, I. 483) is that further and its cognates are from the stem of forth v. + comparative suffix (not -izon- but) -eron- , -uron- , as in inner , outer (see -er suffix³ 1b). The Old High German furdir adverb is explained by Kluge as representing a locative furþirî. †1. a.
