Possibly from Proto-Indo-European*bʰer(H)-g-; cf. Ancient Greekφρύγω(phrúgō, “I roast, bake”), Sanskritभृज्जति(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 Umbrianfrehtu.[1] See also fertum.
