Etymology
Φάρμα is a modern borrowing from English "farm". English "farm" itself came from Old French "ferme", from Medieval Latin "firma" meaning a fixed payment or fixed-rent land, from Latin "firmus" (firm, fixed). Greek adopted the word directly in the 20th century as commercial and industrial farming spread, and gave it a standard feminine ending so it could take normal Greek case endings.
