From Proto-Italic *frūgjōr, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰruHg-ye-ti, from *bʰruHg- (“to use, enjoy”). According to De Vaan, the term followed a development from Proto-Indo-European *bʰruHg-ye- > *frūgje- > *frūje- > *frūwe- > frŭe-. Schrijver suggests that the particular change of *frūje- > *frūwe- is not supported by any other evidence, though he nevertheless considers it phonetically possible, citing pius (“pious”) and fiō (“to become”) as examples of similar developments. However, in a later publication, Schrijver instead provides a development of *frūgje- > *frūje- > fru-, citing that *j was also lost after *u in statuō. In any case, akin to Proto-Germanic *brūkaną (“to make use of, consume”), whence English brook (Etymology 1).
