Where this word comes from
In Germania, Tacitus says that this word was the Germans' own name for their spears. As such, we can assume the word is from Proto-Germanic. However, the specific reconstruction is uncertain; the most accepted one being *framjō (“lance, spear, javelin”), perhaps related to Proto-Germanic *frankô (“javelin”) (see Frank). Another possible relative might be the poetic Old Norse þremjar (“swords”), in which case the Proto-Germanic ancestor term would start with þr-, not fr-, and thus yield *þramjō (“spear, javelin”). Another possibility is from Proto-Germanic *hramjō (“pole, perch”), a derivative of Proto-Germanic *hramō (“frame”).
