語源 2

From Middle English frie (“small fry, offspring”), of two possible origins:

• Traditionally derived from Old Norse frjó (“seed, semen”), from Proto-Germanic *fraiwą (“seed, semen, offspring”), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)per-, *(s)prei- (“to strew, sow”). Cognate with Icelandic frjó (“pollen, seed”), Icelandic fræ (“seed”), Swedish frö (“seed, embryo, grain, germ”), Danish and Norwegian frø (“seed”), Gothic ���������� (fraiw, “seed”).
• More likely from Old French *frie, *fri, collateral form of froi (“spawn”), from froier, freier (“to spawn”), from Latin fricō (“to rub”).

名詞

fry (uncountable)

2. Young fish; fishlings.
   • 1644, John Milton, Areopagitica:

     it is not possible for man to sever the wheat from the tares, the good fish from the other frie; that must be the Angels Ministery at the end of mortall things.
