词汇 | fright |
词根词缀 | 词源: fright (n.) O.E. (Northumbrian)fryhto, metathesis of fyrhtu "fear, dread," from P.Gmc. *furkhtaz "afraid" (cf. O.S. forhta, O.Fris. fruchte, O.H.G. forhta, Ger. Furcht, Goth. 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 Not etymologically related to the word fear, which superseded it 13c.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. Frightful (mid-13c.) originally meant "timid," and like most -ful adjectives originally had an active and passive sense; the meaning "horrible, shocking" is from 1700; Johnson noted it as "a cant word among women for anything unpleasing." 词根记忆: n. 恐怖The enlightened man highlighted his mighty insight into the fright.开明的人强调他的强大的对惊悸了解. |
