    "(XIVᵉ siècle)Composé de fait et de néant. Auguste Scheler ^([1]) souligne qu’il faut distinguer ce mot de feignant, participe présent de feindre qui avait le sens spécialisé de celui « qui ne va pas de tout cœur au travail ». La proximité phonétique et sémantique a fait que feignant est devenu un synonyme populaire de fainéant."

La proximité phonétique et sémantique a fait que feignant est devenu un synonyme populaire de fainéant."
