Modernly, farro is used to refer to einkorn, emmer, and spelt, or a mixture 
of those grains.  The Latin root is "far" which is usually defined as "emmer 
wheat," the primary grain of the Roman Empire.  The period works tend to 
differentiate between the grains or lump them under the general term, corn. 
I suspect that farro is a term that was created after the grains to which it 
refers became marginalized.
