Etymology

Inherited from Old Spanish: fragua

Inherited from Latin: fabrica

Cognate with Portuguese: frágua

In summary

Inherited from Old Spanish fragua, from older frauga, from a presumed earlier form *fravga, from a Vulgar Latin *frabica, a metathetic form of Latin fabrica (“workshop”), from faber (“forger, smith”). Doublet of froga, fábrica, and forja, the second borrowed from Latin and the third from French. Compare Portuguese frágua.
