Preposition [Icelandic]

IPA: /ˌθrauhtˈfɪːrɪr/
Etymology: Uncertain. Can either be interpreted as the neuter of þrár + fyrir, literally, “stubborn for”, or as the Old Norse past participle of largely synonymous þrá and þreyja (“to long for”) + fyrir, literally, “(having) longed for”. Either way, contamination of Old Norse í þrá (“despite”) and fyrir (“despite”) clearly also played a role. Etymology templates: {{unc|is}} Uncertain, {{m-g|stubborn for}} “stubborn for”, {{lit|stubborn for|nocap=1}} literally, “stubborn for”, {{m-g|(having) longed for}} “(having) longed for”, {{lit|(having) longed for|nocap=1}} literally, “(having) longed for”, {{m+|non|í þrá|t=despite}} Old Norse í þrá (“despite”) Head templates: {{head|is|preposition}} þrátt fyrir
