Etymology

From Old English frosc and Old Norse froskr, both from Proto-Germanic *fruskaz. The soft /ʃ/ of some forms is ultimately from the Old English gen.-dat. sg. frosċe(s); it is unknown whether this had already begun to spread to other cases within the Old English period or if it happened in early Middle English, when the collapse of the case system would have encouraged leveling within paradigms.
