• (Classical Latin ) IPA ^(key): [ˈfɔ.roː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical ) IPA ^(key): [ˈfɔː.ro]

From *bherH- , though the specific pre-form of the word is uncertain. It could reflect a denominative to a noun *bhorH-éh2 ("hole?"), though it theoretically also could continue earlier *bhorH-ye-ti, whence also Proto-Germanic *barjaną ("to beat, strike"). In this alternative scenario, the vocalization of the laryngeal would have created a Proto-Italic pre-form *foraō, whence the attested Latin verb.^[1]
