'frequent' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'frequentare,' where 'frequens' meant 'crowded or repeated.' 'Give' originates from Old English, specifically the word 'giefan,' where 'giefan' meant 'to bestow or grant.'

'frequentare' transformed into the French word 'frequenter,' and eventually became the modern English word 'frequent' through Middle English. 'Giefan' transformed into the Middle English word 'given,' and eventually became the modern English word 'give.'

Initially, 'frequent' meant 'crowded or repeated,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'occurring often.' 'Give' initially meant 'to bestow or grant,' and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
