An archaic or dialectal word meaning fresh, eager, or lively, particularly in Scottish or Northern English speech.
From Old French 'frais' (fresh), derived from Germanic roots, particularly related to 'frisk' and 'fresh.' Survived in Scots dialect while disappearing from standard English.
Frache is what English sounded like before standardization—it's still alive in Scottish speech, reminding us that the English language didn't have one 'correct' form but many regional versions, each with forgotten words.
