La historia
One verb covers both 'do' and 'make' in all three. Spanish shows the classic F- → h- (silent); French faire wore FACERE down (its ai is what is left of the c), and Italian fare is a shortened spoken *FARE, though Italian still says faccio and fatto.

La familia latina
FAC-, FACT-· do, make
FACERE is the busiest verb in Latin, and its participle FACTUM split cleanly in two: worn down in speech to hecho, fait, fatto, and borrowed back intact by scholars as fact, factual, faction. Spanish adds a twist of its own, turning Latin F- into a silent h- (Old Spanish fazer, fecho). Portuguese feito and Catalan fet vocalize the cluster as French does, while Romanian, true to the Eastern branch, turns -CT- into -pt-: fapt.
