(uncountable, obsolete) The realm of faerie; enchantment, illusion.

Origin: From , fairie, from , from fae + -erie, from . Equivalent to . Attested in English from about 1330, in King Alisaunder, first in the sense of "enchantment, illusion, dream" ("that thou herdest is fairye") and shortly thereafter "realm of the fays, fairy-land" and "the inhabitants of fairyland, collectively". The re-interpretation of the term as a countable noun denoting individual inhabitants of fairy-land can be traced to the 1390s,.
