Adjective. Comparative, fairer; Superlative, [fairest]
Original meaning is beautiful, elegant, attractive. Derived from Old English faeger and Old Norse fagr, and from proto-Germanic fagraz (suitable, fitting, nice). Applies to the weather as well as to physical beauty.
Since the [nobility] in England generally defined what beauty was, and since the nobility were pale because they were rich enough that they didnt have to work under the sun, fair took on the connotation of pale or bright in color; [fair-haired], fair-skinned, etc.
Through loosening of the meaning of the word, fair also came to mean just, equitable, as in a fair trial.Fair meaning & definition 3 of Fair.
