Etimologie (Engels)

Geërf van Latyn: pressus

Verwante met Portugees: preto

Verwante met Asturies: prietu

In summary

From apretar (“squeeze, constrict, compress”). The semantic evolution to "dark" comes through the sense of "dense" or "thick". Another common, but less likely, etymology suggested is Vulgar Latin *prettus, from Latin pressus. Compare Portuguese preto, Asturian prietu.
