farder

to disguise; to make up or paint (the face); to represent in a false light; to augment with falsehoods or affectations

Cognate with Old High German farwjan (“to colour”), German Farbe f (“colour”), Sanskrit पृश्नि (pṛśni, “motley”), Welsh erch (“dark brown”), perhaps Latin pulcher (“beautiful”).
