Old English

Etymology

From Proto-West Germanic *Frīsan, whence also Old Frisian Frīsa and Old High German Frīson. The Proto-Germanic form is uncertain, since Old Norse frísir is an i-stem; thus the West Germanic form points to *frīsaniz, while Old Norse points to *frīsīz. Note that variants with ē exist, but the oldest sources attest that these are secondary developments; see especially Latin Frīsiī, attested since the first century.[1]
