Definition
An archaic or dialectal variant of 'feast' or 'festival,' used in older English texts.
Etymology
From Old French 'feste,' derived from Latin 'festa.' This earlier English spelling survives in some regional dialects and historical texts.
Kelly Says
Words like 'feste' are linguistic fossils—they show us how English spelling was less standardized centuries ago, and you can spot them in Shakespeare or medieval texts as clues to how people actually pronounced words back then.
