Plural of 'feria'; in Spanish and Portuguese contexts, fairs or market festivals; in religious contexts, weekdays in the liturgical calendar.
Spanish and Portuguese plural of 'feria,' directly from Latin 'feriae,' adapted into Romance languages where the meaning shifted from 'religious holidays' to 'public fairs and markets.'
