Etymology

The word 'spar' has its origin in Middle English, derived from the Old English word 'spearwa'. It was first used to refer to a bird, specifically a small bird of the finch family. Over time, the word also took on the meaning of a quarrel or dispute, possibly due to the swift and aggressive nature of the bird in flight.
