An archaic or dialectal term meaning for good, permanently, or once and for all; expressing finality or enduring purpose.
Combination of 'far' and 'good' (meaning benefit or purpose), from Old English roots. Used in dialects and older English to express permanence or conclusiveness.
Modern English collapsed 'for good' into two words, but 'fargood' as one word shows how speech rhythms change—people said it fast as one unit until writing conventions separated them, revealing how writing standardizes fluid speech.
