fresh

fresh - O.E. fersc "unsalted, pure, sweet, eager." Reversal of -r-
and -e- is late 13c., influenced by O.Fr. fres (fem. fresche), from
P.Gmc. *friskaz. The sense of "impudent, presumptuous" is U.S. slang,
1848, probably from Ger. frech "insolent, cheeky."

My dictionary means the German "frisch" should be a loan from the early
Romance,see Italian "fresco", French "frais"
The Italian word is seen as a loanword from French .
Albanian form is "freskë" and I guess it is a later loan from Italian
"fresco".
The greek form ( actualy, I am not aware of ancient greek form) is
"prospatos"

Any ideea if there could be found a common root or this should be too
seen as a wander-word as the "celtic" 'caballus' which is said to have
given even the OCS word 'kobila'?.
BTW if OCS has 'kobyla' from 'caballus', could this word enter the OCS
trough Greek? Otherways is not to explain since the "Eastern Romance"
lost this "b" at the time the slavs arrived.
