Origins
From Proto-Italic *frāgom, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰreh₂ǵ-om, from either *dʰreh₂ǵ- (“berry”) (compare Albanian dredhëz, Sanskrit द्राक्षा (drā́kṣā)) or *sróh₂gs (“grape”) (compare Ancient Greek ῥώξ (rhṓx) (whence Greek ρώγα (róga)), Albanian rrush). The divergent phonetics and semantics of the comparanda suggest a foreign Wanderwort.
