φούτερ

Greek

Etymology

Borrowed from German Futter in its second sense (“lining”). This meaning is preserved in the doublet φόδρα (fódra), which entered the language via Venetian fodra, itself a borrowing tracing back to Proto-Germanic *fōdrą (“sheath”), from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂- (“to protect, guard”).

Pronunciation

IPA^(key): /ˈfu.teɾ/
