I'm pretty sure it's just a shortening of the word "from", similar to how "with" is shortened to "wi" or "wae", the ae representing an unstressed /e/ which is also the y vowel in happy in most scots/scottish accents.
(This is probably technically wrong but I'm not really interested in arguing the semantics of it unless you *actually* know more/can back it up. All i can tell you definitively is that it's not fucking related etymologically to fairies.) |
