Étymologie (Anglais)

In summary

From Middle High German vrouwe, from Old High German frouwa (“mistress”), from Proto-West Germanic *frauwjā, from Proto-Germanic *frawjǭ, a feminine form of *frawjô (“lord”), giving Old English frēa (“lord, king; God, Christ; husband”), frēo (“woman”), from Proto-Indo-European *proHwo-, a derivation from *per- (“to go forward”). Cognate with Old Saxon frūa (hence Middle Low German vrouwe, Modern Low German frug), Old Norse freyja and frú (hence Icelandic frú and Norwegian frue). Further cognates include German Fron (“corvée, soccage”) and its kin. The Indo-European root is also the source of Proto-Slavic *pravъ (“right, straight, correct”), whence Old Church Slavonic правъ (pravŭ), Russian пра́вый (právyj, “right”), perhaps also Ancient Greek πρῶρα (prôra, “bow, prow”) and the first element of Latin provincia, if this is from Proto-Indo-European *prōwiōn.
