falce

Where it comes from

Inherited from Latin falx, falcem (“sickle”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *dʰelk-, *dʰelg- (“a cutting tool”). Cf. Medieval Latin falcata. See also the related form falcă (“jaw”), which underwent further semantic evolution from the original etymology of "sickle" in Latin.

noun fălci

feminine old unit of measurement (used in Moldova) in agriculture equivalent to about half a hectare, or an area of land that size
