Definitions and meaning of favor

favor

Alternative forms

• favour (Commonwealth, Ireland)

Etymology

From Middle English favour, favor, faver, from Anglo-Norman favour, from mainland Old French favor, from Latin favor (“good will; kindness; partiality”), from faveō (“to be kind to”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂weh₁yeti (“to be favourable to”), from the root Proto-Indo-European *bʰeh₂- (“to shine, glow light”). Respelled in American English to more closely match its Latin etymon. Compare also Danish favør (“favor”), Irish fabhar (“favor”), from the same Romance source.

Pronunciation

• (US) IPA^(key): /ˈfeɪvɚ/
• (UK) IPA^(key): /ˈfeɪvə/
• Rhymes: -eɪvə(ɹ)
• Hyphenation: fa‧vor

Noun

favor (countable and uncountable, plural favors) (American spelling, alternative in Canada)

1. A kind or helpful deed; an instance of voluntarily assisting (someone).

2. Goodwill; benevolent regard.
3. A small gift; a party favor.

   A marriage favour is a bunch or knot of white ribbons or white flowers worn at a wedding.
4. Mildness or mitigation of punishment; lenity.
5. The object of regard; person or thing favoured.
6. (obsolete) Appearance; look; countenance; face.

Usage notes

• Favor is the standard US spelling, and an alternative in Canada. Favour is the standard spelling in Canada and outside North America.
• English speakers usually "do someone a favor" (rather than *"make them a favor", which would be sense 3 only). See Appendix:Collocations of do, have, make, and take for uses and meaning of favor collocated with these words.
