Where this word comes from

Forms not built on the present stem probably come from Proto-Italic *pres-, from Proto-Indo-European *pr-es- (“to press”), from *per- (“to push, beat, press”). The present stem is assumed to be an analogical formation on the model of tremō, which had the variant stems *trem- and *tres- in Proto-Indo-European.
