Etymology
In summary
From Old Galician-Portuguese abrigar, of disputed origin: most likely from Late Latin aprīcāre, from Latin aprīcārī (“to warm in the sun”), from aprīcus (“sunny”). Alternatively, and less likely, from Late Latin *abrīgāre (“to cover, shelter”), from a- + *brīgāre, from Frankish *birīhan (“to cover, protect”), from Proto-Germanic *bi- + *wrīhaną (“to cover, clothe”), from Proto-Indo-European *werḱ-, *werǵ- (“to twist, weave, tie together”).
