Brit.

/ˈfɛrɪə/, U.S.

/ˈfɛriər/

Forms:

α. late Middle English feryare, 1500s–1600s 1800s– ferrier, 1600s–1800s ferryer; Scottish pre-1700 feriar, pre-1700 ferrear, pre-1700 ferreiar, pre-1700 ferriar, pre-1700 ferryar, pre-1700 feryar, pre-1700 feryiar, 1700s ferrier.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: ferry v., -er suffix¹.

Etymology: < ferry v. + -er suffix¹. Compare Old Frisian fērer , fērier , Middle Low German vērer , Old High German feriāri , ferrāri (Middle High German (in late sources) waerger , German †Ferger ; the now usual German word is Fährmann ferryman n.), all in sense ‘ferryman’. Compare also Anglo-Norman fferier ferryman (1421 or earlier).The β. forms show suffix substitution (compare -or suffix). It is unclear whether early attestations in surnames, like the following, should be taken as reflecting earlier currency of the Middle English or the Anglo-Norman word, although it is likely that the Anglo-Norman word also ultimately shows a borrowing from English:1281 in W.
