Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Latin 'farina', meaning meal or flour (ultimately from 'far', a type of grain like spelt). Through historical phonetic evolution in Spanish, the initial Latin 'f-' shifted to an aspirated 'h-' and eventually became silent, standardizing as 'harina' by the Old Spanish period.
