Etymology
فاخِر comes from the Arabic root ف-خ-ر, tied to the verb فخر (fakhara), meaning to boast or take pride. The pattern فاعل turns the root into an active participle, literally something like 'boasting' or 'prideworthy'. Over time the word settled into a plain adjective for anything so fine it deserves pride: a hotel, a fabric, a meal. It is a native Semitic formation, not borrowed from another language family.
