Etymology
1. 1530, from M.Fr.
farce "comic interlude in a mystery play," lit. "stuffing," from O.Fr.
farcir "to stuff," from L.
farcire, perhaps related to
frequens "crowded." The pseudo-L.
farsia was applied 13c. in France and England to praise phrases inserted into liturgical formulae (e.g. between
kyrie and
eleison), then in O.Fr.
farce was extended to the impromptu buffoonery among actors that was a feature of religious stage plays.
2. From Middle English farcen, from Old French farsir, farcir, from Latin farciō (“to cram, stuff”). Doublet of farse. See: Latin '
farciō'.
