Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: Latin Pharisaeus; French phariseu, pharisé.

Etymology: In Old English < post-classical Latin Pharisaeus (Vulgate), Farisaeus, Farissaeus (both c800 in a British source) < Hellenistic Greek Φαρισαῖος , plural Φαρισαῖοι (New Testament) < Aramaic prīšayyā , emphatic plural of prīš separatist (literally ‘separated’), cognate with Hebrew pārūš separatist, seceder, Pharisee (literally ‘abstemious, self-denying’). In Middle English reinforced by Anglo-Norman and Old French phariseu (c1190 in Old French as Fariseu , plural; also in Anglo-Norman as fariseus , plural) and Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French pharisé (13th cent. in Old French; also in Middle French as pharisee ), both < post-classical Latin Pharisaeus (see above); in forms in -é , -ee with ending remodelled after -é (see -ate suffix¹). Compare Old Occitan farisieu (15th cent.; Occitan farisèu ), Catalan fariseu (14th cent.), Spanish fariseo (first half of the 13th cent. or earlier), Portuguese fariseu (13th cent.; also in 15th cent. as †phariseu ), Italian fariseo (a1306). Compare Pharisen n.The Old English and Middle English plural forms in -i and -os are respectively after the Latin nominative and accusative plural. In Old English and early Middle English also occasionally used with Latin case inflections (compare quot. OE¹ at sense 1). In sense 3 apparently a folk-etymological (or perhaps paranomastic) alteration of fairies , plural of fairy n. (compare β. forms at fairy n. and adj.). Compare:1807 R. Southey Lett. from Eng. III. liv. 37 The man observed..that the fairies were never seen now, as they used to be in old times... The man persisted [to the priest], ‘It is no longer ago than last Sunday you read about the Scribes and Pharisees.’

1. A member of a religious party within Judaism between the 2nd cent. b.c. and New Testament times, distinguished by its rigorous interpretation and observance of the written Mosaic law as well as the traditions of the elders.
