From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *r-p(w)am (“to freeze; snow”) (provisionally reconstructed). Compare Proto-Tani *pam (“snow”), Japhug jpɣom (“to freeze”), tɤjpɣom (“ice”) (STEDT; Zhang, Jacques, and Lai, 2019). Cognate with 凌 (OC *rɯŋ, “ice”) and possibly 凝 (OC *ŋrɯŋ, “to congeal”) (STEDT; Baxter and Sagart, 2014). STEDT also includes 雱 (OC *pʰaːŋ, “heavy (snowfall)”) and 霙 (OC *qraŋ, “snowflake”) in its Chinese comparandum.

Alternatively, this may be related to Old Khmer ប្រិង៑ (“to harden; to solidify”)[1], from រិង៑ (“to dry up”), although the meanings are difficult to reconcile (Schuessler, 2007).
