(Redirected from Reconstruction:Latin/frocus)
Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Noun[edit]
*frocum m (Proto-Gallo-Romance)
Reconstruction notes[edit]
That this was a relatively early borrowing, in spite of the limited distribution of its reflexes, is suggested by the fact that it developed parallel to focum (“fire”). That is, *frocum > *frueu > *frieu > friu~freu~fru.[1]
