köken: From Middle High German kelte, from Old High German kaltī, from Proto-West Germanic *kaldī. Analysable as kalt + -e. Cognate with Dutch kou, koude, an alteration of Middle Dutch kelde (similarly perhaps English cold).
köken: Inherited from Middle French froit, from Old French froit, freid, inherited from Latin frīgidus (“cold”) (through a syncopated Vulgar Latin or Late Latin form frigdus, fricdus, attested in the Appendix Probi, or fridus, on a Pompeian inscription). Doublet of frigide, a later borrowing.
aile: chat échaudé craint l'eau froide, coup de froid, douche froide, Guerre froide, sueur froide, vague de froid

From frío + -dad, possibly influenced by fealdad or alternatively a phonetic evolution of Latin frīgiditātem, through a hypothetical early Ibero-Romance or Proto-Spanish intermediate form *friyeddade.
