51687 fast [[English]] ipa :/fɑːst/[Anagrams] - AT&#x26;SF, ATFs, ATSF, FTAs, SAFT, TAFs, afts, fats, tafs [Etymology 1] From Middle English fast, fest, from Old English fæst (“firm, secure”), from Proto-West Germanic &#x2a;fast, from Proto-Germanic &#x2a;fastuz; see it for cognates and further etymology.The development of “rapid” from an original sense of “secure” apparently happened first in the adverb and then transferred to the adjective; compare hard in expressions like “to run hard”. The original sense of “secure, firm” is now slightly archaic, but retained in the related fasten (“make secure”). Also compare close meaning change from Latin rapiō (“to snatch”) to Latin rapidus (“rapid, quick”), from Irish sciob (“to snatch”) to Irish sciobtha (“quick”). [Etymology 2] From Middle English fasten, from Old English fæstan (verb), Old English fæsten (noun) fromProto-Germanic &#x2a;fastāną (“fast”), from the same root as Proto-Germanic &#x2a;fastijaną (“fasten”), derived from &#x2a;fastuz, and thereby related to Etymology 1.The religious sense is presumably introduced in the Gothic church, from Gothic 𐍆𐌰𐍃𐍄𐌰𐌽 (fastan, “hold fast (viz. to the rule of abstinence)”). This semantic development is unique to Gothic, the term glosses Greek νηστεύω (nēsteúō), Latin ieiuno which do not have similar connotations of "holding fast".The feminine noun Old High German fasta likely existed in the 8th century (shift to neuter Old High German fasten from the 9th century, whence modern German Fasten).The Old English noun originally had the sense "fortress, enclosure" and takes the religious sense only in late Old English, perhaps influenced by Old Norse fasta.The use for reduced nutrition intake for medical reasons or for weight reduction develops by the mid-1970s, back-formed from the use of the verbal noun fasting in this sense (1960s).

It is cognate with Southern Norwegian rut (“loud noise, din, roar”).[10] [Etymology 4] The verb is derived from Middle English routen (“to cry out, bellow, roar”) [and other forms],[11] from Old Norse rauta (“to roar”), from Proto-Germanic &#x2a;reutaną (“to cry, wail”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European &#x2a;HrewdH- (“to weep”), probably imitative. The English word is cognate with Danish ryde (“to low, moo”), Latin rudere, rūdere (“to bray; to cry”), Lithuanian raudóti (“to wail; to lament; to sob”), Norwegian raute (“to bellow; to low, moo”), Old Church Slavonic рꙑдати (rydati, “to wail, weep”), Old High German riozan (“to roar; to wail”) (Middle High German riezen (“to wail”)), Old Norse rjóta (“to roar”), Old Swedish riuta, ryta (“to howl, wail; to roar”) (modern Swedish ruta, ryta (“to howl; to roar”) (regional)), Old Swedish röta (“to bellow, roar”) (modern Swedish rauta, råta, rota, röta (“to bellow, roar”) (regional)), Sanskrit रुद् (rud, “to cry, wail, weep; to howl, roar; to bewail, deplore, lament”).[12]The noun is derived from the verb, or from a noun derived from Old Norse rauta (“to roar”) (see above).[13] [Etymology 5] A variant of wrout,[14] itself a variant of wroot (“to search or root in the ground”) (obsolete), from Middle English wroten (“to search or root in the ground; of a person: to dig earth; of a worm: to slither, wriggle; to corrode; of a worm: to irritate by biting the skin; to destroy (a fortification) by digging or mining”) [and other forms] (whence root), from Old English wrōtan (“to root up or rummage with the snout”).[15] from Proto-West Germanic &#x2a;wrōtan, from Proto-Germanic &#x2a;wrōtaną (“to dig with the nose or snout, to root”); further etymology uncertain, perhaps related to Proto-Indo-European &#x2a;wréh₂ds (“a root”). [Etymology 6] Possibly a variant of root (“to dig or pull out by the roots; to abolish, exterminate, root out”), from Middle English wroten; see further at etymology 5. Some recent uses are difficult to tell apart from rout (“of an animal, especially a pig: to search (for something) in the ground with the snout; to search for and find (something)”).[16] [Etymology 7] The verb is derived from Middle English routen (“to move quickly, rush; of waters: to churn, surge; to drag, pull; to throw; to agitate, shake; to beat, strike;”) [and other forms], from Old English hrūtan,[17] from or cognate with Old Norse hrjóta (“to be flung; to fall; to fly”), from Proto-Germanic &#x2a;hrūtaną, &#x2a;hreutaną (“to fall; to fly; to move quickly”); further etymology uncertain, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European &#x2a;kreu- (“to fall, plunge; to rush; to topple”).The English word is cognate with Middle High German rûzen (“to move quickly, storm”), and is also related to Old English hrēosan (“to fall; to collapse; to rush”).[18]The noun is derived from Middle English rout, route (“a blow; suffering, woe (?); a jerk, sharp pull”) [and other forms], from routen; see above.[19] [Etymology 8] A brant or brent goose (Branta bernicla), formerly known in Scotland as a rout.Uncertain; either imitative of the bird’s call, or possibly from Icelandic hrota (“brant; brent goose”), also probably imitative though perhaps influenced by hrot (“a snore; act of snoring”), from hrjóta (“to snore”), from Old Norse hrjóta (“to snore”),[20] from Proto-Germanic &#x2a;hrūtaną (“to snore”); see further at etymology 3.
