+ '''frīgeō''' (present infinitive frīgēre, perfect active frīxī or frīguī); second conjugation, no passive, no supine stem^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is from [[frīgus]] “cold” with the suffix [[-eō]], or from ⟨*srīgeō⟩.^(Wiktionary)^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) De Vaan traces ⟨frīgus⟩ to [[itc-pro|*srīgos-]], from [[ine-pro|*sriHǵ-o/es-|t=frost, bitter cold]]; cognate with [[grc|ῥιγέω|tr=rhigéō|t=to shiver]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ The OLD's earliest citation is from Terence, of a cool reception.^(OLD 2012) Köbler dates Terence 190–159 BC.^(Köbler 2010)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It meant to be cold, as in Celsus, the opposite of ''calēre'', and Lewis & Short distinguish ''algēre'', of feeling cold.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Of an old man and his strength it meant to lack vigour, fail, as in Virgil; in Cicero to be idle, have nothing to do; and of people to meet a cool reception, of words and efforts to fall flat, as in Terence.^(OLD 2012)
