Etymology
Inherited from Old Spanish fiesta, from Late Latin fĕsta, from Latin fēsta, plural of fēstum. It is unclear why the initial f- stayed in this word instead of becoming the expected h-, perhaps from a learned coloring. See: Old Spanish Nouns '
fiesta', Old Spanish Nouns '
fiesta', Latin Nouns '
fēsta'.
