Etymology 1

Probably from Proto-Indo-European *prews- (to freeze, burn); compare Latin pruīna (hoarfrost). If so, cognate to Albanian prush (embers) and Sanskrit प्लोषति (ploṣati, to scorch).

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “is the freeze/burn gloss in Proto-Indo-European *prews- (to freeze, burn) consistent with contemporary reconstructions? It is from Pokorny, is not normally cited elsewhere on Wiktionary, and has a sceptical gloss in the only two ‘burn’ cognates on Wiktionary. NOTE:Robert Grandsaignes d'Hauterive (1948) also lists *preus- in Dictionnaire des racines des langues européennes, primary meaning idée de brûlure, but with English freeze and German frieren as derivatives.”
The template Template:rfe does not use the parameter(s):
Robert Grandsaignes d'Hauterive (1948) also lists *preus- in , primary meaning ''idée de brûlure'', but with English ''freeze'' and German ''frieren'' as derivatives.
