Inherited from Late Latin fratre (810-814 AD or earlier), from Latin frāter, either directly from the nominative form or through a Vulgar Latin derivative of the accusative frātrem (with loss of second -r from a form *fratre), from Proto-Italic *frātēr, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *bʰréh₂tēr. Compare Aromanian frati. Doublet of brat and bărat.
