RFV discussion: September–November 2012
Rfv-sense: ramp. As far as I know, is the normal word for a speed ramp, so I'm not sure how this would be shortened to just "fart". Unless someone thought that the fart- part of the word meant "ramp"?? 13:46, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It means something like the place where you can or should drive/navigate (cf. färd), like for example infart, påfart (which is probably why someone added the definition "ramp"). The word is nowadays only found in compounds. See SAOB "fart" #4. Diupwijk (talk) 18:46, 3 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I have removed the sense. If you think it is attested but obsolete outside of compounds, reopen the RFV. - -sche (discuss) 18:07, 25 November 2012 (UTC)


 * Avfart/påfart, infart/utfart, överfart/underfart, tillfart are Swedish words where the -fart suffix has the meaning of a road, ramp or journey, but as far as I can tell this only happens in compounds, and these are probably loan words from German compounds with -Fahrt (Überfahrt, etc.). The stand-alone fart means speed (farthinder = speed bump). The stand-alone word for journey (German Fahrt) is färd, and there are also similar compounds using this word (avfärd, hemfärd, utfärd) with slightly different meanings. While avfärd = German Abfahrt = departure = away-journey; avfart = off-ramp (a road that provides a departure from a motorway). --LA2 (talk) 02:11, 26 November 2012 (UTC)


 * I have now added this under Usage notes, rather than a sense. --LA2 (talk) 02:49, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Audio
Please can someone add * to the article? It is an audio of the word "fart", not someone farting (although getting an audio of that could be arranged too...) --Gorgehater (talk) 11:42, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

Also apparently an obsolete titbit or snack food

Swedish: meaning of -fart as suffix
I wonder why this particular page is locked for editing while other Wiktionary pages are generally not locked.

This talk is related to the discussion in the RFV "fart:Swedish".

As a suffix, "-fart" takes the meaning of road, ramp, or journey, but also traffic. Important examples that should be mentioned on the page: sjöfart (water traffic), luftfart (air traffic). To my knowledge, this meaning is specific to "-fart" and is not shared by the Swedish word "färd", i.e. "färd" is "journey" but not "traffic". The German suffix "-fahrt" seems equal to Swedish "-fart" in this sense, for example in "Luftfahrt".

Another example of a compound with "fart": "lagfart". This example should also be brought up. This word more or less means proof of ownership of a property, but it appears like its etymologic origin has to do with right of traffic.

Another comment: In an informal scientific context, "fart" can denote the absolute magnitude of a velocity ("hastighet"), regardless of direction, when velocity ("hastighet") scientifically denotes a vector with a magnitude and a direction.
