Origin

Middle English: from Old French frire, from Latin frigere.

  • The word meaning ‘to cook in hot fat or oil’ comes from the Latin verb frigere, which meant both ‘to roast’ and ‘fry’. Fry as a term for ‘young fish’ is a quite different word, which comes from Old Norse. If you move from a bad situation to one that is worse you have moved out of the frying pan into the fire, an expression used by the scholar and statesman Sir Thomas More in the mid 16th century. Fritters (Late Middle English) are fried food and get their name from Late Latin frictura ‘a frying’. To fritter time or money (early 18th century) is a different word. It is based on an old verb fitter meaning ‘to break into fragments, shred’, and may be related to German Fetzen ‘rag, scrap’.
