About This Root
From Old English fersc (fresh, not salt, not preserved), of Proto-Germanic origin. Originally distinguished fresh water from salt water. Now broadly means "new" or "not stale": freshen, freshly, freshness. Refresh and refreshment add re- to mean "make fresh again." The word's Germanic roots give it an everyday, unpretentious quality.
