‘Fáinleog', the Irish word for Swallow, is often ascribed the etymology of 'little wanderer' based on the diminutive form of the root verb 'Fán' "to wander".
While a beautiful and fitting meaning for these sweet wandering birds, this explanation is a surface meaning based on the modern form of the word.
The deeper meaning of Fáinleog can be traced back through several millennia - from early modern Irish 'Áinleog', through Middle Irish 'Áilleóc', back to Old Irish 'Ainnel'. 'Ainnel' stems from Proto-Celtic wesnālā, which in turn evolved from the Proto-Celtic word wesrū, meaning 'Spring'.
Mounted on archival grade white core mountboard.
Ideal for easy framing.
