[ˈfriː.ɡoː], [ˈfriː.ɡo]
OriginPossibly from a Proto-Indo-European *bʰer(H)-g- (“to roast, grill, fry”); 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. See also fertum.

“Sesquilibram salis frigito, eodem indito et rude misceto usque adeo, donec ovum gallinaceum coctum natabit, desinito miscere.” — Parch half a pound of salt, add it in, and stir with a stick, until a boiled chicken egg floats, then stop stiring.
