[ˈfeː.ri.ae̯]

From Proto-Italic *fēsiās, nominative feminine plural of an adjective *fēsios, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰéh₁s-yo-s, from *dʰéh₁s (“god, godhead, deity”), related to Latin fēstus (“festive”). Cognate with Ancient Greek θεῖος (theîos, “divine”) and Oscan 𐌚𐌉𐌝𐌔𐌝𐌀𐌉𐌔 (fiísíais), 𐌚𐌉𐌉𐌔𐌉𐌉𐌔 (fiisiis), 𐌚𐌉𐌔𐌉𐌀𐌝𐌔 (fisiaís, dat.-abl. pl.). In classical Latin, rendered plural even for singular instances by the Latin treatment of most recurring calendrical days; singular usage is a development in Late Latin.
