Pronunciation

/ˈfôls/ /ˈfɔːls/

Etymology

[ fols ] (adjective.) 12th century. From Middle English false, from Old English fals (“false, fraud, falsehood”), from Latin falsus (“counterfeit, false; falsehood”), perfect passive participle of fallō (“deceive”). Uncommon before the 12 century, the word was reinforced in Middle English by Norman fals (cf. Old French faus). Displaced native Middle English les, lese (“false”), from Old English lēas; more at leasing. For spelling, the -e (on -lse) is so the end is pronounced /ls/, rather than /lz/ as in falls, and does not change the vowel (‘a’). Compare else, pulse, convulse.
