Archaic term for a place of fairy activity, a fairy circle, or a realm inhabited by fairies.
From 'fairy' (Old French 'faerie') with suffix '-ery' (Old French '-erie,' denoting a place, trade, or collection). Common in Middle English fairy lore literature.
Medieval texts used '-ery' words for any specialized place ('nunnery,' 'cookery,' 'witchery'), so 'faitery' perfectly captured where the magical action happened in folk imagination!
