Variant form of 'fasherie'; worry, trouble, or needless fuss (Scottish and dialectal English).
Alternative form of 'fasherie,' using the suffix '-ery' instead of '-erie,' both common in Scottish English for creating abstract nouns.
The variation between 'fasherie' and 'fashery' is typical of Scottish spelling—different regions and time periods weren't standardized, so you'd find both forms in 18th and 19th-century literature, making word history messier and richer than modern standardization suggests.
