Etymology of WERE FAMILIAR

The phrase "were familiar" is not a word with its own etymology, but rather a combination of two separate words: "were" and "familiar".

The word "were" is the past tense of the verb "be", which originates from Old English "wǣron" and Germanic "was". Its etymology can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root "es-" meaning "to be" and has evolved over time in various languages.

On the other hand, "familiar" comes from the Latin word "familiaris" meaning "pertaining to a household servant or friend". It has its roots in the Latin term "famulus", which translates to "servant" or "slave". The word "familiar" adapted in English to refer to something or someone well-known, easily recognized, or frequently encountered.
