afraid词源中文解释

"impressed with fear, fearful," 14世纪早期,最初是现已废弃的中古英语动词 afray “吓唬”的过去分词,来自盎格鲁-法语 afrayer,古法语 affrai, effrei, esfrei “骚乱,惊恐”,来自 esfreer(动词)“担心,关心,烦扰,打扰”,来自通俗拉丁语 *exfridare,一种混合词,字面意思是“使平静不安”。

第一个元素来自拉丁语 ex “出”(见 ex-)。第二个元素来自法兰克语 *frithu “和平”,来自原始日耳曼语 *frithuz “和平,考虑,忍耐”(源头还包括古撒克逊语 frithu,古英语 friu,古高地德语 fridu “和平,休战”,德语 Freide “和平”),来自 PIE 词根 *pri- “友好,爱”。

一个英语形容词从未放在名词前的罕见情况。因为它在《国王詹姆斯圣经》中使用,它获得了独立的地位,并在 affray 消失的同时繁荣起来,它赶走了曾经更常见的 afeared。1590年代记录了 I'm afraid 的口语意义,“我很遗憾地说,我怀疑”(没有恐惧的暗示,作为纠正、承认等的礼貌介绍)。

Her blue affrayed eyes wide open shone [Keats, "The Eve of St. Agnes," 1820]
她惊恐的蓝色眼睛闪闪发光[济慈,《圣阿格尼丝前夜》,1820]
