Jakobsen, Jakob
ferdalek [færꞏꞏdaləkꞏ, fərꞏꞏdalekꞏ and -ləkꞏ], sb., a journey or errand resulting badly or unsuccessfully, occas. also: work badly carried out; in phrases as: hit [‘it’] cam’ till a f., “that was indeed a nice trip or fine result” (ironically), he’s com’ till a f., he made a nice muddle of it; du’s made a f. o’ it, a) that was a nice journey you made, or that was a fine result (ironically); b) what a muddle you have made. Y. (Yh., Yn.). The form ferdalet [færꞏꞏdalətꞏ, fərꞏꞏdaletꞏ] (Yn.) is doubtless a corruption of ferdalek. — Icel. ferðalok, n., result of a journey, and ferðalag, n., a journey.
