Definition
An archaic or dialectal term for a companion, mate, or equal; sometimes used in Scottish English.
Etymology
From Old English 'gefēra' (companion, mate) or Old Norse influence. The word is primarily preserved in Scottish and Northern English dialects, becoming increasingly archaic.
Kelly Says
Feer survived mainly in Scottish English, where dialect words often preserve medieval meanings that vanished elsewhere—it's a linguistic time capsule of how people once addressed equals.
