abrigo

From Old Galician-Portuguese abrigo (“a place where one is sheltered from the elements or harm”), from abrigar, of disputed origin: possibly from Late Latin *abrīgāre (“to cover, shelter”), from a- + *brīgāre, from Frankish *biwrīhan (“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”).
