Etymology
Uncertain. Ultimately onomatopoeic. * From fryga + -ać, with a semantic shift of to set a dreidel into motion to to fling (quickly), and finally to eat quickly. * Ultimately from fr (“about a sound when taking off to flight”), with fryga being derived from frygać. Compare frunąć, fyrkać, Czech frgať. For meaning shift for sense 2.1 compare wsuwać, zmiatać, zwijać.
