Etymology

From English dialectal (Kentish) feeze, feese (“to alarm, discomfit, frighten”), from Middle English fēsen (“to chase, drive away; put to flight; discomfit, frighten, terrify”), from Old English fēsan, fȳsan (“to send forth; to hasten, impel, stimulate; to banish, drive away, put to flight; to prepare oneself”), from Proto-West Germanic *funsijan, from Proto-Germanic *funsijaną (“to predispose, make favourable; to make ready”), from Proto-Indo-European *pent- (“to go; to walk”). The word is cognate with Old Saxon fūsian (“to strive”), Old Norse fýsa (“to drive, goad; to admonish”).

Citations for faze in the Oxford English Dictionary start in 1830, and usage was established by 1890.

Usage notes

The spelling phase is sometimes used for faze, including by such notables as Mark Twain and The New York Times. Nonetheless, many writers avoid it anyway, simply because many readers will believe it to be an error (even if it isn't one). A memory aid for this prescription is that faze and frighten both begin with f.
