the word used to mean stranger at first but then they got to know each other and they weren't strangers anymore so fren became fren

I like that word, it's nice and cute, but there is also some hint of irony in it which makes it funny to me.

It used to mean stranger so cowboys would say 'howdy there fren' but then cowboys stopped fighting and everybody became friends so fren turned into friend. That's why it says Obsolete.
