The Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese word for flour, particularly used to describe cassava flour or other ground grain products.
From Latin 'farina,' this Portuguese form evolved through Vulgar Latin and Romance language development. It's the direct equivalent of Spanish 'harina' and maintains the original Latin meaning.
Farinha de mandioca (cassava flour) is essential to Brazilian and Portuguese cuisine, and the word itself is a living fossil of Latin that sounds almost identical to how Romans pronounced it 2,000 years ago!
