Break the word into 2 and look @ old English terminology:

Waif (s/o @MerriamWebster ) ~

“1a : a stray person or animal especially : a homeless child.

[1]b : something found without an owner and especially by chance.

2 : an extremely thin and usually young woman.”

Let’s also consider the other spelling. (Again, left out n/a definitions)

Fare (s/o @MerriamWebster) ~

“1a : the price charged to transport a person

b : a paying passenger on a public conveyance

2b : material provided for use, consumption, or enjoyment”

Aaaaand let’s check out what http://etymonline.com  has to share.

Fare ~

“Journey, road, passage, expedition,", except in compounds (wayfarer, sea-faring, etc)...

...that of "conveyance" appears in Scottish early 15c. and led to sense of "payment for passage" (1510s).”

Now, let’s see the old english term wayfare ( @MerriamWebster)

“1 archaic (hella old) : an act or course of journeying

2 obsolete (not used anymore at all) : money or provisions for a journey”
