The word 'fair' can be a noun, an adjective, an adverb or a verb.

1. As a noun fair means a large carnival type event (ex: I went to the state fair earlier this summer).

2. As an adjective, it can mean any of the following:

-free from bias

-having a moderately large income

-moderately good (ex: His condition is fair.)

-promising

3. As an adverb it can mean:

-doing something in a fair manner (ex: That football player isn't playing fair!)

-aiming or hitting something directly

-favorably (ex: Well, I guess that's a fair punishment.)

4. As a verb, when used in conjunction with an object, fair means to make a connection of surfaces even.
