Nguồn gốc từ

From Middle English favour, favor, faver, from favour, from mainland Old French favor, from Latin favor (good will; kindness; partiality), from faveō (to be kind to), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂weh₁yeti (to be favourable to), from the root Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂- (to shine, glow light). Respelled in American English to more closely match its Latin etymon.
