* phās (Medieval Latin)

### Etymology

From Proto-Italic *fās, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂os (“utterance, saying”), a derivative of the root *bʰeh₂- (“to speak”), whence also for, fārī. However, Beekes thinks there is "no convincing etymology" for Latin fās and Ancient Greek ὁσία (hosía).
