"Frak" is derived from the Original Series expletive, "frack". "Frack" was used in character dialogue far less than its counterpart in the Re-imagined Series.
Note[edit]
This profanity's real-world derivation can be found in this article on Wikipedia. "Frak" and "Frack" are obviously used in dialogue to comply with FCC and other broadcast decency standards.
