Where this word comes from
From Old Galician-Portuguese abrigar (13th century, Cantigas de Santa Maria), of disputed origin: conjectured to be from Late Latin aprīcāre (“to sunbathe”), from Latin aprīcārī (“to warm in the sun”), from aprīcus (“sunny”). Alternatively, 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 *werḱ-, *werǵ- (“to twist, weave, tie together”).
