Etymology. Borrowed from French farce, from Old French farse, from Medieval Latin farsa, from Latin farcīre, from farciō. Doublet of farsz.

Spanish Etymology. From Spanish poeta, from Latin poēta, from Ancient Greek ποιητής (poiētḗs).

The word surname derives from sur “above" + name. The term surname was first used by feudal lords, who adopted the name of their property as their family name. A surname can be derived from a place name (e.g., London) or a trade (e.g., Schneider means "tailor" in German).

The earliest known use of the verb emend is in the Middle English period (1150 - 1500). OED's earliest evidence for emend is from 1411. emend is a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin ēmendāre.
