## Latin
### Etymology

Equivalent to farcio +‎ -tis (with assumed syncope in the nominative singular of -r(c)tis to -rs), ending in the noun-forming suffix derived from Proto-Indo-European *-tis; other words that etymologically share this ending include fors and vestis. Compare the use of the neuter far(c)tum as a noun with the sense "stuffing".

### Noun

*fars f (genitive *fartis); third declension (uncommon)
* stuffing
** c. 200 BCE, Plautus, Mostellaria 169, (Some manuscripts write "fartim", others "partum"; a conjectured alternative is "fartum"):non vestem amatores amant mulieris sed vestis fartim
* (figuratively, of persons) cut-up and wounded bodies or body parts; mincemeat
** c. 206 BCE, Plautus, Miles Gloriosus 8, ("fartem" here is a conjectural emendation of manuscript "fratrem" or "fretis"/"fritis"/"fretum"; alternative conjectured readings include "far(c)tum" and "stragem", though the last has been criticized as inappropriate):quae misera gestit ⟨et⟩ f⟨ar⟩tem facere ex hostibus

#### Declension

The nominative singular *fars is inferred from the attested third-declension oblique forms, which include accusative singular fartim and ablative singular farte; an alternative accusative singular form fartem is conjectured to be the underlying source of the manuscript variants for Plautus Miles Gloriosus 8.

* fartim
