Portuguese

Etymology

From Old Portuguese abrigo ‎(“a place where one is sheltered from the elements or harm”), from abrigar, from Late Latin abrigare ‎(“to cover, shelter”), from a- + brigare, from Frankish *berīhan ‎(“to cover, protect”), from Proto-Germanic *bi- ‎(“be-”) + *wrīhaną ‎(“to cover, clothe”), from Proto-Indo-European *werḱ-, *werǵ- ‎(“to twist, weave, tie together”). Cognate with Old High German birīhan ‎(“to cover”), Old English bewrēon ‎(“to cover, enwrap, protect”).

Late Latin abrigare may have also crossed with Old 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.
