Latin

Etymology

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”). De Vaan suggests the word is a loan from Greek or another source, following Giacomelli (1994), who assumes it is a late Greek borrowing. Probably related to Umbrian frehtu. See also fertum.

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ˈfriː.ɡoː/, [ˈfriːɡoː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈfri.ɡo/, [ˈfriːɡo]
