title for an Italian friar or monk; brother
From Italian 'fra,' shortened form of 'frate' (brother), from Latin 'frater' (brother)
Fra is simply Italian for 'brother' and is used before monks' names, like Fra Angelico, the famous Renaissance painter. It's the same root that gives us 'fraternal' and 'fraternity.'
