German
editEtymology
editLate 17th century, borrowed from Dutch frikadel (attested 1607), itself from French fricadel(le). The French is only recorded in 1742, but its earlier existence is likely as it is a variant of fricandeau (1548), which see. A further relation with Italian frittatella is speculative. Derivation of German Frikadelle from Italian instead of Dutch (as suggested in some sources) is implausible in view of the chronology and regional distribution. Compare also Dutch frikandel.
