That’s just a normal word a this point, I’ve seen it in use for years in car tests.
Comment on A YouTuber let the Cybertruck close on his finger to test the new sensor update. It didn't go well.

The worst part of the article is them using the term frunk unironically.

I think drunk is a good word. What would you call it.

A trunk. There’s nothing about that word that indicates location.
Evotech@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It’s implied
anon_8675309@lemmy.world 6 months ago
No not really. Plenty of rear and mid engine cars have had a trunk up front.

A Trood or Tronnet for the British folk.

Froot, actually, my good man.
Threeme2189@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Froot and Fronnet could work. Nice

A normal trunk in the back isn’t a “bunk”.
Why is frunk a good name for the front? It’s silly.

Well traditionally, cars only had one trunk, now it is common that they have two. The need arose to distinguish them, and ‘front trunk’ easily collapses into a nice single syllable portmanteau that makes communication simple and concise; the language evolves and a new word is born.
