So, you're wondering why "fridge" has a "D" but "refrigerator" doesn't?

Well, it's because "fridge" is just a casual shortcut for the longer word.

When people started using "fridge" as a nickname for "refrigerator", they threw in a "D" to make sure it sounded right.

Without the "D", it might sound like "frige" with a soft "G" like in "huge". But with the "D", the "G" stays hard, like in "ridge".

That's why "fridge" became the go-to short version of "refrigerator"
