大家好,知識(shí)小編來(lái)為大家講解下。fright是什么意思,fright的用法很多人還不知道,現(xiàn)在讓我們一起來(lái)看看吧!

一、fright是什么意思

1、fright 恐怖

2、來(lái)自PIE*perg, 恐懼,害怕。與fear沒(méi)有辭源上的聯(lián)系。

二、fright的用法

1、fright

2、fright: [OE] Prehistoric Germanic *furkhtaz, an adjective of unknown origin (not related to English fear), meant ‘a(chǎn)fraid’. From it was derived a noun *furkhtīn, which was the basis of one of the main words for ‘fear’ among the ancient Germanic languages (not superseded as the chief English term by fear until the 13th century). Its modern descendants include German furcht and English fright (in which the original sequence ‘vowel plus r’ was reversed by the process known as metathesis – something which also happened to Middle Low German vruchte, from which Swedish fruktan and Danish frygt ‘fear’ were borrowed).

3、fright (n.)

4、Middle English freiht, fright, from Old English (Northumbrian) fryhto, metathesis of Old English fyrhtu"fear, dread, trembling, horrible sight,"from Proto-Germanic *furkhtaz"afraid"(cognates: Old Saxon forhta, Old Frisian fruchte, Old High German forhta, German Furcht, Gothic faurhtei"fear"). Not etymologically related to the word fear, which superseded it 13c. as the principal word except in cases of sudden terror. For spelling evolution, see fight (v.).

5、fright (v.)

6、"to frighten,"Middle English, from Old English fyrhtan"to terrify, fill with fear,"from the source of fright (n.). Old English also had forhtian"be afraid, become full of fear, tremble,"but the primary sense of the verb in Middle English was"to make afraid."
