From Proto-Italic *fremō, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrém-e-ti, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰrem-. Cognates include Ancient Greek βρέμω (brémō), Middle High German bremen, Welsh brefu, and obsolete English breme (“famous; tempestuous”).

Verb

fremō (present infinitive fremere, perfect active fremuī, supine fremitum); third conjugation

1. (transitive, with accusative) to murmur, mutter, grumble, growl at or after something

   Synonym: mussitō

   • 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.559–560:

     Tālibus Īlioneus; cūnctī simul ōre fremēbant / Dardanidae.

     With such [words spoke] Ilioneus; together all the Dardans were murmuring aloud [their assent].
     (Ilioneus and other Dardan, i.e. Trojan, envoys are addressing Queen Dido; the meaning in-context is that of agreement which is audible – ore, “by or with mouth” – yet respectful to her royal court.)

2. (transitive, with accusative) to complain loudly

   Synonyms: conqueror, queror, plōrō

3. (intransitive) to roar, growl, hum, rumble, buzz, howl, snort, rage, murmur, mutter
