Etymology
1. late O.E. fefor, from L. febris "fever," related to fovere "to warm, heat," probably from PIE base *dhegh- "burn" (cf. Goth. dags, O.E. dæg "day," originally "the heat"); but some suggest a reduplication of a root represented by Skt. *bhur- "to be restless." Adopted into most Gmc. languages (cf. Ger. fieber, Sw. feber, Da. fever), but not in Du. Eng. spelling infl. by O.Fr. fievre. Replaced O.E. hriðing. Extended sense of "intense nervous excitement" is from 1586.
2. From Middle English fever, fevere, from Old English fefer, fefor (“fever”) and Old French fievre (“fever”), from Latin febris (“a fever”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰegʷʰ- (“to burn”). Displaced native Old English hriþ (“fever”). Compare also Saterland Frisian Fiewer, German Fieber, Danish feber, Swedish feber.
