英文词源

fry
fry: Fry ‘cook in fat’ [13] and fry ‘young fish’ [14] are quite distinct words. The former comes via Old French frire from Latin frīgere, a cooking term which covered what we would now distinguish as ‘roasting’ and ‘frying’. It goes back ultimately to Indo-European *bhreu-, which also produced Latin fervēre ‘boil’ (source of English fervent).

Its past participle frictus formed the basis of Vulgar Latin *frīctūra, from which, via Old French, English gets fritter [14]; and the past participial stem of the French verb, fris-, may lie behind English frizz [17]. Fry ‘small fish’ may come from Anglo-Norman frie, a derivative of Old French freier ‘rub, spawn’, which in turn goes back to Latin frīgere ‘rub’.
=> fervent, fritter, frizz
fry (v.)
late 13c., "cook (something) in a shallow pan over a fire," from Old French frire "to fry" (13c.), from Latin frigere "to roast or fry," from PIE *bher- (4) "to cook, bake" (cognates: Sanskrit bhrjjati "roasts," bharjanah "roasting;" Persian birishtan "to roast;" Greek phrygein "to roast, bake"). Intransitive sense is from late 14c. U.S. slang meaning "execute in the electric chair" is U.S. slang from 1929. As a noun, "fried meat," from 1630s. Related: Fried; frying. Frying pan recorded from mid-14c.
fry (n.)
early 14c. (late 13c. in Anglo-Latin), "young fish," probably from an Anglo-French noun from Old French frier, froier "to rub, spawn (by rubbing abdomen on sand)," from Vulgar Latin *frictiare. First applied to human offspring c. 1400, in Scottish. Some sources trace this usage, or the whole of the word, to Old Norse frjo, fræ "seed, offspring."
