"etymology_text": "From Middle English faierie, fairie, from Old French faerie, from fae + -erie, from Vulgar Latin *Fāta (“goddess of fate”), from Latin fātum (“fate”). Equivalent to fey + -ry.\nAttested in English from about 1300, first in the sense of \"enchantment, illusion, dream\" (\"that thou herdest is fairye\") and shortly thereafter \"realm of the fays, fairy-land\" and \"the inhabitants of fairyland, collectively\". The re-interpretation of the term as a countable noun denoting individual inhabitants of fairy-land can be traced to the 1390s, but became common only in the 16th century, perhaps due to reinterpreting phrases like faerie knight.",

Equivalent to fey + -ry.\nAttested in English from about 1300, first in the sense of \"enchantment, illusion, dream\" (\"that thou herdest is fairye\") and shortly thereafter \"realm of the fays, fairy-land\" and \"the inhabitants of fairyland, collectively\". The re-interpretation of the term as a countable noun denoting individual inhabitants of fairy-land can be traced to the 1390s, but became common only in the 16th century, perhaps due to reinterpreting phrases like faerie knight.",

"etymology_text": "From Middle English faierie, fairie, from Old French faerie, from fae + -erie, from Vulgar Latin *Fāta (“goddess of fate”), from Latin fātum (“fate”). Equivalent to fey + -ry.\nAttested in English from about 1300, first in the sense of \"enchantment, illusion, dream\" (\"that thou herdest is fairye\") and shortly thereafter \"realm of the fays, fairy-land\" and \"the inhabitants of fairyland, collectively\". The re-interpretation of the term as a countable noun denoting individual inhabitants of fairy-land can be traced to the 1390s, but became common only in the 16th century, perhaps due to reinterpreting phrases like faerie knight.",

"etymology_text": "From Middle English faierie, fairie, from Old French faerie, from fae + -erie, from Vulgar Latin *Fāta (“goddess of fate”), from Latin fātum (“fate”). Equivalent to fey + -ry.\nAttested in English from about 1300, first in the sense of \"enchantment, illusion, dream\" (\"that thou herdest is fairye\") and shortly thereafter \"realm of the fays, fairy-land\" and \"the inhabitants of fairyland, collectively\". The re-interpretation of the term as a countable noun denoting individual inhabitants of fairy-land can be traced to the 1390s, but became common only in the 16th century, perhaps due to reinterpreting phrases like faerie knight.",
