What does fayer mean?
"Fayer" is not an established word in modern standard English dictionaries. Readers encountering the string are almost certainly dealing with one of three things: a misspelling of "fair" or its comparative "fairer"; a proper noun, since Fayer appears as a family name (as in the physicist Rodney Fayer's era of usage, or various individuals bearing it); or an archaic spelling variant found sporadically in older texts. Because none of these uses carries a distinct meaning of its own, no separate definition can be responsibly given. In general vocabulary, the concepts people usually intend when writing "fayer" belong to "fair" — meaning just, equitable, or light in color — and to "fairer," the comparative form used when comparing justice or attractiveness. Writers should use those standard forms.
