'That word' (below-hyperlinked to my question about 'how well an apple fritter keeps') is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Fritter” is built on ancient words that mean "to |Roast, Fry."
Only barely related (the ancient sources only differing by one vowel, but I haven't seen any other relation talked-about), "to Fritter (as in #FritterAway)" is built on ancient words that mean Breaking, or maybe Clothes, |Rags, |Girdle.

I appreciate your comment, and I'll probably approve it & publish it soon (give me about a week before you try to post it again when it doesn't publish immediately ... thanks)
