Etimologia (Inglese)
In summary
Ca. 1400, from Middle French prise (“spoils”), from prendre (“to take”). The monophthongal form and the restriction to nautical context probably established themselves under influence of Middle Low German prîse, from the same source. The diphthongised form is preserved in preisgeben (“to surrender, relinquish”). The sense “pinch” (18th c.) is a renewed loan from Modern French.
