Etymology
Friptură is built from fript, the past participle of the verb a frige, "to roast" or "to fry," plus the suffix -ură, which turns a verb into a noun naming the result of the action. The same pattern gives ruptură, "a tear," from a rupe, "to tear." A frige descends from Latin frigere, "to roast or parch," a verb unrelated to Latin frigus, "cold," despite the similar spelling.
