futer

See also: futeř and fùter

Norn

Alternative forms

• futra

Etymology

Unknown, but most likely from Old Norse fatra (“to delay, prevent”), with a change of vowel in the main syllable. Alternatively, may also be derived from *furt, from *furd, *ford, by metathesis of r and the following consonant. The metathesis, in that case, from the past tense: futerd, from an older *furted, *furded.

If the second hypothesis is true, cognate with Faroese forða (“to hinder”), Icelandic forða (“to save, rescue”), from Old Norse forða (“to move, carry to safety, keep one from something”), from Proto-Germanic *furþōną (“to advance”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *per- (“to cross, across, before, in front”).
