"vrek" meaning in Afrikaans

See vrek in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Verb

Forms: vrek [present], vrekkende [participle, present], gevrek [participle, past]
Etymology: From Dutch verrekken, itself (semantically) from German verrecken. The sense “to die” is apparently first attested in South African Dutch (1752) and may thus have been borrowed locally. The contracted form might also be from German, where it is widely found in dialects, but compare on the other hand Sranan Tongo frèk.
