In summary

From Middle Dutch proeven (13th c.). Ultimately from Latin probāre and hence a doublet of proberen. Probably borrowed from Old French prover, although the umlaut in Middle Low German prö̂ven, northern Middle High German prüeven may also hint at a (regionally restricted) Proto-West Germanic *prōfijan, from Vulgar Latin. In modern Dutch dialects, the vocalism generally coincides with the isogloss for umlaut on long vowels (western proeve(n) vs. Brabantian/Kleverlandish pruve(n), Limburgish preuve). Compare German prüfen.
