The word "prien" is derived from the Old English word "prēon", which means "to press, squeeze, crumble". It evolved from the Proto-Germanic root "*preunōną", which has a similar meaning. The word "prien" has cognates in other Germanic languages, such as the Middle Dutch "priȫn" and the Old Norse "prjóna", both of which also mean "to crumble, break into small pieces".
