Nguồn gốc từ
ine-pro From Middle English faierie, fairie, from Old French faerie, from fae (from Latin fāta (goddess of fate)) + -erie. Equivalent to fay + -ry. Attested in English from about 1330, in King Alisaunder, first in the sense of "enchantment, illusion, dream" ("that thou herdest is fairye") and shortly thereafter "realm of the fays, fairy-land" and "the inhabitants of fairyland, collectively".
