It seems to me that the English language does not have a adjective-equivalent of to "frige" or to "refrige", and we short-form the "refrigerator" as a "fridge" with an extra d. I can't think of where the stem may have come from, and why the* re-* which suggests to refreeze things instead of just "frigerator" (unless it means re- like remember, but what does the* re-* there mean anywhere?), and why the -d- in fridge for that matter?
