Yesterday’s word

The word fardel is

  • a bundle
  • a burden
First usage

Our word came into English around 1300

Background / Comments

I don’t remember hearing our word, but if I can remember it, maybe I’ll use it to refer to a bundle. Our word came from the Old French word fardel, which is a diminutive of farde (package; burden), which came from from the Arabic word farda (piece; pack).
