An Etymological Dictionary of the Norn Language in Shetland (1928–1932): Jakobsen, Jakob

ferd¹ [færd, fē^ərd], sb., 1) a travel; journey, now only in certain phrases, as: “hit [‘it’] cam’ till a f. [færd]” or (more commonly) “h. c. t. a ferdek [færdək, fərdək]”, “that was a nice journey”, ironically of a voyage or errand with a poor result; Y. (Y^{h., n}.); cf., a) ferdalek, himinsferd, hjimmelsferd; b) ferdimet, in which compounds ferd partly has its original meaning, a journey; voyage. From Conn. is recorded a form “fer [fē^ər]” in the phrase “de hoidin fer”, the accomplishment of a work, really, the last trip (the last transport or bringing home of the peats, dried on the hill; the finishing of the harvest-work), = de hoittin g(j)ang; see further hottin, adj., and gang, sb. 2) speed; great haste, to geng wi’ a (great) f.; der’r a f. upon him de day [‘to-day’]. Usually pronounced “færd”, rarely (as e.g. Nmⁿ.) “fē^ərd”. In sense of speed, haste, a changed form fjard [fjärd] from Nmⁿ. (N.Roe) is also recorded; to geng wi’ a fj.; der’r a awfu’ fj. upo dee. 3) a person, esp. a woman of imposing proportions, doubtless with ref. to the manner in which the person in question moves forward; a great f. (U.: færd). — O.N. ferð, f., a travel; journey; Icel., Fær. ferð and No. ferd also mean speed. For Shetl. ferd 3, cf. O.N. ferð in sense of a troop moving forward. ferd 3 might, however, be quite another word, viz. an old *verd; see the foll. ferd², sb. — In sense of movement; behaviour; manner, ferd¹ (færd) is found in atferd, sb.
