+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|fabrica|-or|t1=workshop, craft]], and [[m|la|fabrica]] is made from [[m|la|faber|t=craftsman, smith]].^(Wiktionary)^(OLD 2012) De Vaan reports Leumann's view that [[m|la|fabrica]] was formed after a Greek model such as [[m|grc|ναυτική|tr=nautikḗ|t=the art of sailing]]; he reconstructs [[m|la|faber]] as [[itc-pro|*fafro-]], perhaps from [[ine-pro|*dʰHbʰ-ro-|t=craftsman]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates the verb from Plautus.^(de Vaan 2008) Accius, quoted by Macrobius, addresses Mulciber, who forged arms for a coward with his unconquered hand.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to make something of wood, stone or metal: Cicero has makers of statues, the gable of the Capitol, a sword, and the thunderbolt forged for Jupiter.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Ovid has the active of a bowl that Alcon had made, and Horace of weapons that experience later fashioned.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Vitruvius uses it of an axle shaped on the lathe.^(OLD 2012) It is also to build, as Varro's balcony made of planks, and to prepare a meal, in Apuleius.^(OLD 2012) In a wider sense it is to form or fashion: Cicero asks whether a force with intelligence fashioned man.^(Lewis & Short 1879) It is then to devise or contrive, as Columella's rule, and to bring about.^(OLD 2012) The Vulgate uses it of making vessels and of gods made by human hands.^(Lewis & Short 1879)
