Pronunciation

Etymology

1437, from Middle French funérailles (“‘funeral rites’”) pl., from Mediaeval Latin funeralia (“‘funeral rites’”), originally neut. pl. of Late Latin funeralis (“‘having to do with a funeral’”), from Latin funere, ablative of funus (“‘funeral, death, corpse’”), origin unknown, perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dheu- (“‘to die’”). Singular and plural used interchangeably in English until c. 1700. The adjective funereal is first attested 1725, by influence of Middle French funerail, from Latin funereus, from funus.
