nafnorðkarlkyn
, friðar, friði, [ renders εἰρήνη by gavairþi, but uses the verb gafriþon = καταλλάττειν, and gafriþons = καταλλαγή; frið and freoðo; friede; and fred; lost in , and replaced from the ]:—peace, but also personal security, inviolability: in the phrases, fyrirgöra fé ok friði, to forfeit property and peace, be outlawed, 160; setja grið ok frið, to ‘set,’ make, truce and peace, ii. 167: til árs ok friðar, i. 16; friðr ok farsæla, i. 724; vera í friði, to be in safe keeping, 17; biðja e-n friðar, to sue for peace, 28; about the peace of Fróði 78–81, it is also mentioned in 1. 13, and Vellekla.
2. peace, sacredness of a season or term, Jóla-f., Páska-f., the peace (truce) of Yule, Easter; ann-friðr, 3. peace, rest, tranquillity; gefa e-m frið, to give peace, rest; gefat þínum fjándum frið, 128.4. with the notion of love, peace, friendship; friðr kvenna, 89; frið at kaupa, to purchase love, 19; eldi heitari brennr með íllum vinum friðr fimm daga, 50; friðs vætla ok mér, I hoped for a friendly reception, Sighvat, 81; allr friðr (all joy) glepsk, Hallfred; connected with this sense are friðiil, friðla, friðgin,—this seems to he the original notion of the word, and that of peace : from the the word obtained a more sacred sense, εἰρήνη being always rendered by friðr, John xvi. 33,—friðr sé með yðr, peace be with you.
