Etymology
In summary
From Middle Dutch onvrēde, from Old Dutch *unfrithu, from Proto-West Germanic *unfriþu, from Proto-Germanic *unfriþuz. By surface analysis, on- + vrede. Compare to English fray ("conflict, quarrel, heated argument,") which derives by aphesis from affray—an Old French loan—ultimately equivalent to a compound of French é- ("out, away from, de-") + Frankish *friþu (“peace, sanctuary”), thus an equivalent formation to Old English unfriþ or to onvrede.
