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.

Pronunciation

(Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈfriː.ɡoː/, [ˈfriːɡoː]

(modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈfri.ɡo/, [ˈfriːɡo]
