Etymology
Altered from earlier frângão, of unknown origin. Possibly from Late Latin franganus, perhaps a popular or remodeled formation connected with Latin fringilla (“small bird”), with nasal variation or deformation of the stem, though the phonological development is irregular and uncertain. First attested in the 19th century. See: Latin Nouns '
fringilla'.
