Etymology
Presumably contracted from English metaphor, from Middle French metaphore, from Latin metaphora, from Ancient Greek μεταφορᾱ́ (metaphorā́). Not listed in the Dictionary of the Irish Language, the Historical Irish Corpus or Dinneen’s dictionary, suggesting it may not be older than the mid-20th century. See: English Nouns '
metaphor', Latin Nouns '
metaphora'.
