Anagrams

Latin

Etymology

Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *bʰer(H)-g-; cf. Ancient Greek φρύγω (phrúgō, I roast, bake), Sanskrit भृज्जति (bhṛjjati, to roast, grill, fry), भृग् (bhṛg, the crackling of fire). However, Latin frīg- would point to *bʰreyg⁽ʰ⁾-, which lacks formal cognates. De Vaan suggests the word is a loan from late Ancient Greek or another source, following Giacomelli (1994), who assumes it is a late Greek borrowing. Probably related to Umbrian frehtu.[1] See also fertum.
