Brazilian Portuguese gaming verb meaning to frag: to kill an enemy in a video game.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Ele fragou três inimigos antes de a rodada acabar."

LORE & ORIGIN

Adapted borrowing of English "frag" plus the Portuguese ending -ar. Wiktionary lists "fragar" as a transitive verb meaning to kill an enemy in video games (the same entry also records an unrelated slang verb, from "flagrar", meaning to notice or understand). English "frag" is attested in gaming from 1995 (Word Spy, citing DOOM-era use) and originally comes from "fragmentation grenade" in military slang. When Portuguese players began using "fragar" is not documented. This entry covers the verb; the English noun is the existing entry "frag".
