Etymology

From Old English fersc (“fresh, pure, sweet”), from Proto-West Germanic *frisk (“fresh”). The metathesis in the word that occurred between Proto-Germanic and Old English was probably undone due to influence from Old French fresche, feminine singular of fres, ultimately also of Germanic origin.
