Etymology

From Middle French [Term?], from Old French abrier ‎(“to cover”), from Late Latin abrigāre ‎(“to cover, shelter”), from a- + brigare, from Frankish *berīhan ‎(“to cover, protect”), from Proto-Germanic *bi- + *wrīhaną ‎(“to cover, clothe”), from Proto-Indo-European *werk'-, *werg'- ‎(“to twist, weave, tie together”). Cognate with Old High German birīhan ‎(“to cover”), Old English bewrēon ‎(“to cover, enwrap, protect”). Compare Spanish abrigar, which may be related; alternatively, both may derive from a Latin apricō, apricāre.

Late Latin abrigare may have also been crossed with Frankish *bergan ‎(“to take care of, protect, hide”), from Proto-Germanic *berganą ‎(“to care for”), from Proto-Indo-European *bhergh- ‎(“to take care”), due to similarity in form and meaning[1]. If so, this would relate the word also to Old High German bergan ‎(“to shelter”) (German bergen), and Old English beorgan ‎(“to save, preserve”). More at borrow.
