FRAME

What frame means

A rigid or flexible structure that gives shape and support to something, such as the borders of a picture, the skeleton of a building, or the structure of eyeglasses.

Where the word comes from

From Middle English *frame*, derived from Old Norse *framr*, meaning "forward" or "useful." The Norse word came from Proto-Germanic *framaz*, which meant "forward" or "advancing." The sense evolved from the idea of constructing or fitting something forward—building it up piece by piece—to the modern meanings of a structure or border around something.
