*** Etymology
Late [en], from [en] and [en], from [en], [fro] + [fro], from [en], [gem-pro],
probably of non-Indo-European origin, possibly borrowed from [en]; compare
[fi] and [hu], both from [en]/[en]. However, also compare Dutch and
[en].[1][2]
Old Northern French [fro] is probably from [non], cognate of [ang] of same
[en] origin.
Slang sense “public toilet” from 19th century, due to resemblance.
