Frango belongs to the third conjugation, and frangas appears in various moods depending on the grammatical construction.

Etymology: Frango derives from a Proto-Italic root related to breaking, tracing back to Proto-Indo-European roots associated with breaking or bending. The form frangas reflects Latin consonant and vowel patterns typical of the second-person singular across moods.

Grammatical notes: In Latin grammars, frangas is cited as an example of a second-person singular form of frango. Its exact mood (indicative, subjunctive, or other) is determined by context and auxiliary particles. The form is primarily of interest in language-learning and linguistic descriptions rather than in continuous prose.

Usage: Frangas is most commonly encountered in Latin-language educational materials, glosses, and verb-conjugation tables. It is rarely used as a word outside the grammar of the language.

Modern usage: Outside Latin studies, frangas does not function as an active term in modern English or other common languages, and it is not used as a standard name or term.
