Irish
Alternative forms

Etymology
From Middle Irish darírib, apparently from de ḟírib (literally “from truths”), but the source of the first r is unclear; it may have arise through conflation with expressions like ar fír (literally “on truth”) and iar fír (literally “through truth”).
Derived terms
- dáiríre fíre, dáiríre píre (“really and truly”)
- i ndáiríre (“in earnest”)
