To be clear we're not talking about the amphibian, even if it's taken from the name of the amphibian and is related at some point in ancient times.Frog is a Germanic word found with a variety of differences in that group of languages. When an etymology exhibits such traits it shows antiquity. Normally this would be reflected in the other major European language family, Latin.The Latin word is rana, imitative of the sound frogs produce. This is also why we speak of having 'a frog in the throat'.
