Etymology

[edit]

    From Proto-Italic *frangō, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰreg- (“to break”) with the nasal infix *-n-. De Vaan reconstructs PIE *bʰrn̥ǵ-,[1] but since descendants of this formation are not found in Celtic or Germanic, Schrijver argues it could be a Latin innovation and suggests the original vocalism can't be established.[2]
