faðer

Middle English

Noun

faðer

  1. (Early Middle English) alternative form of fader

Usage notes

  • This spelling probably reflects a confusion of the letters <d> and <ð> since the latter was falling out of use rather than a pronunciation with /ð/; such pronunciations are likely a Late Middle English development.
