Origin:
The word "fret" traces its origins back to the Proto-Germanic language, spoken thousands of years ago by Germanic tribes in northern Europe. It is believed to have evolved from the verb fraitaną, which meant "to devour." Over time, the word's meaning shifted from physical consumption to the more abstract concept of worry and anxiety.
The term "fret" has also been used in a nautical context, where it refers to the ornamental carving or engraving on the neck of a stringed instrument. This usage is believed to have originated from the practice of creating intricate designs on the necks of lutes and other stringed instruments in the Middle Ages.
