Origin of fairway¹

1515–25; 1905–10 fairway fordef 2; fair ¹ + way ¹

In Manhattan, where I grew up, people seemed to eat a lot of takeout, or prepared foods from places like Zabars and Fairway.

Both initially were unpopular with neighbors, and Fairway admits on its website that opening a store there was “just plain nuts.”

She was lifted bodily by Mr. Fairway's arm, which had been flung round her waist before she had become aware of his intention.

She indicated the faint light at the bottom of the valley which Fairway had pointed out; and the two women descended the tumulus.

"There was Kingsbere church likewise," Fairway recommenced, as one opening a new vein of the same mine of interest.

Afterwards the door opened, and Fairway appeared on the threshold, accompanied by Christian and another.

"A man who is doing well elsewhere wouldn't bide here two or three weeks for nothing," said Fairway.
