Etymology 2

Uncertain; possible etymologies include:

• From Proto-Germanic *frawj?, a feminine form of *frawjô (“lord”) (Old English fr?a), from Proto-Indo-European *proHwo-, a derivation from *per- (“to go forward”). Cognate with Old Saxon fr?a, Old High German frouwa (German Frau), Old Norse freyja. The Indo-European root is also the source of Proto-Slavic *pr?v? (Old Church Slavonic ????? (prav?), Russian ??????? (právyj, “right”)), and the first element of Latin provincia.
• From Proto-Germanic *frij?, of the same root as etymology 1 above and related to the verb that yielded Old English fr?o?an (“to liberate; to love”). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term.
