Etymology
From Old High German wrēd(e), northwestern form of reid, from Proto-Germanic *wraiþaz (originally “twisted, bent”, figuratively “hostile, angry”). Cognate with Dutch wreed, English wroth. The attested wrēde could stand for *wreid, but the modern form seems to confirm an irregular early monophthong in this word.
The initial fr- < wr- is regular. Modern dialects usually have r-, but this is a fairly recent development as evidenced by the Middle High German records as well as the fact that fr- remains where there is no Standard German cognate. Compare rieve, but frequentative fribbele, both from the root of Proto-Germanic *wrībaną.

fried (masculine friede, feminine fried, comparative frieder, superlative et friedste) (chiefly Ripuarian)
