Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English faynt, feynt (weak; feeble), from Old French faint, feint (feigned; negligent; sluggish), past participle of feindre, faindre (to feign; sham; work negligently), from Latin fingere, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeyǵʰ- (to mold). Cognate with feign and fiction and more distantly dough.
