Related: farauderie
Borrowed (1725) from Spanish faraute “messenger, herald, prologue presenter”, an orthographic variant of haraute (15th c.), from Old French heraut, hiraut (modern héraut) from Frankish *heriwald, evolution of Proto-Germanic *harjawaldaz, a compound consisting of Proto-Indo-European *ker- (“army”) + *h₂welh₁- (“to rule”). Compare Walter, which has these elements reversed.
