Where this word comes from
The origin is uncertain. According to Etimo, possibly from Late Latin frasca, itself possibly from a hypothetical *fraxus, a variant of fractus (“broken”), from frangere (“to break”), but this is contradicted by the fact that this verb appears to have no ancient descendants in Italian. It also suggests it to be a contraction of *vir-asca, from the base of virdis (“green”), but this faces serious morphological difficulties. A pre-Roman origin has been proposed but remains unproven. Compare Sicilian frasca.
