thanks for the new word -- when I saw it I thought it might derive from the same as 'ferang' in Asia -- but, it's possibly totally different --

Ferang came from when the Asians couldn't prononce 'Francais'

possibly some similarity for the Arabs because the French have been bombing around there for ages as well ------------- but, I cannot see the history of it

??

do you know the history of the word?
