中古英语 freiht, fright,源自古英语(北安布里亚)fryhto,是古英语 fyrhtu “恐惧,惊恐,颤抖,可怕的景象”的音位转换,源自原始日耳曼语 *furkhtaz “害怕”(源头还包括古撒克逊语 forhta,古弗里西亚语 fruchte,古高地德语 forhta,德语 Furcht,哥特语 faurhtei “恐惧”)。与 fear 这个词源并不相同,后者在13世纪以来取代了它成为主要的词,除了在突然惊恐的情况下。有关拼写演变,请参见 fight(v.)。
Noun Middle English, going back to Old English fyrhtu, fyrtho, fryhto (Northumbrian) "fear, dread, source of dread," going back to Germanic *furhtīn- (whence also Gothic faurhtei), noun derivative of *furhta- "frightened, fearful" (whence Old English forht "frightened," Old Saxon foraht, foroht, Old High German forht, foraht, Gothic faurhts), probably going back to Indo-European *pr̥k-to-, adjective from a verbal base *pr̥k-, whence also Tocharian A & B pärsk- "be afraid" (going back to *pr̥k-sk-) Note: Germanic nouns derived directly from the adjective include Old Frisian fruchte "fear," Old Saxon forhta, Old High German forahta. Indo-European *p(e)rk- is taken by some to be a "root extension" of a hypothetical base *per- "test, risk," which would connect it to fear >entry 1; see note at peril >entry 1. Verb Middle English frighten, going back to Old English fyrhtan, going back to Germanic *furhtjan- (whence also Old Saxon forhtian "to fear, shy away from," Old High German forahten, furhten, Gothic faurhtjan), verbal derivative of *furhta- "frightened, fearful" — more at fright >entry 1 Note: The causative meaning of the Old English verb is not reflected in the other Germanic forms; Old English also has a weak verb of a different class, forhtian "to fear, be afraid."
The first known use of fright was before the 12th century
