Your Webster link is not hot. The philology of “cold” tracks, but doesn’t loop through “frigid—Frigidaire” as the commercial artifact.

Reload my comment and the link will appear. Frigid is mentioned as another descendant of frigerare.

Tradenames back then were pretty simple: “frigid air” is about as simple as it gets.
