Inherited from Latin: aprīcor

Cognate with Portuguese: abrigar

In summary

Most likely from Late Latin apricāre, from Latin aprīcārī (“warm in the sun”), from aprīcus (“sunny”) Compare Portuguese abrigar, Catalan abrigar, English apricate, French abrier.
Alternatively, and less likely, from Late Latin *abrigāre (“to cover, shelter”), from a- + brigare, from Frankish *birīhan (“to cover, protect”), from Proto-Germanic *bi- + *wrīhaną (“to cover, clothe”), from Proto-Indo-European *werk'-, *werg'- (“to twist, weave, tie together”). Cognate with Old High German birīhan (“to cover”), Old English bewrēon (“to cover, enwrap, protect”).
Late Latin *abrigare may have also been crossed with Frankish *bergan (“to take care of, protect, hide”), from Proto-Germanic *berganą (“to care for”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰergʰ- (“to take care”), due to similarity in form and meaning. If so, this would relate the word also to Old High German bergan (“to shelter”) (German bergen), and Old English beorgan (“to save, preserve”). More at borrow.
