Probably from Latin ferīre (“strike”), of Proto-Indo-European origin, with a related but shifted semantic development in Romanian (with the meaning seeming to derive from the reaction to being struck or attacked). Other less likely explanations include a Vulgar Latin *auferīre, from an alteration of auferre (as with suferi < suffere). Compare Aromanian afirescu, afiriri. Some have tried to connect it, at least in the archaic or regional sense of "to celebrate a holiday", with a Vulgar Latin *fērīre, from fēriae.^[1]

a feri (third-person singular present ferește, past participle ferit) 4th conjugation

1. (reflexive, transitive) to guard from, fend
   • 1874, Alexandru Odobescu, Pseudokynegeticos, chapter 4:

     Aceștia trebuie să fie cu fața în sus, cu urechi păroase pe frunte, cu gura mare, astfel ca măselele căscate să verse foc mișcându-se, cu pântecele strânse îngust la vintre, cu coada scurtă, cu șale lungi, cu coama măruntă pe grumaz, nu prea stufoasă, dar îndestulă, ca să-i ferească de frig, iar sub umerii lor sănătoși să se-nalțe un piept care să ducă la alergătură multă și să nu se obosească de cele mai mari goane.

     These must have an upturned face, shaggy ears on the forehead, a big mouth so that the open teeth can blow fire while moving, an abdomen drawn narrow by the belly, a short tail, with long hips, a fine mane on the nape, not too thick, but sufficient, to guard then from the cold, and under their healthy shoulders must be a breast tolerant of much running and not growing tired of the longest strides.

   • 1880, Ion Creangă, The Bear Tricked by the Fox:

     Dar șireata vulpe știe cum să se ferească de mânia ursului.
