A non-standard spelling of 'frappéing' or 'frapping,' the act of chilling a beverage or binding something with rope.
Incorrect combination of French 'frappe' with English -ing suffix without proper accent handling; standard form would be 'frappéing' or following the nautical 'frapping.'
This misspelling reveals how English speakers struggle when adopting French words—do you keep the accent? Do you drop the 'e'? The confusion shows why many French words got anglicized into simpler forms over time.
