According to Klein, Irish spre seems to be a loan-word from Old Norse sprakr. Watkins proposes a possible origin as an alteration of Scots spreath \"cattle raid,\" from Gaelic sprédh, spré, \"cattle; wealth,\" from Middle Irish preit, preid, \"booty,\" ultimately from Latin praeda \"plunder, booty\"\".",
