注释

The notion of removal from a state of peace happens to be the basis for constructing .exfred3, literally “to remove from peace,” the Vulgar Latin ancestor of our word afraid. This Vulgar Latin word is made up of the Latin prefix ex-, “out of,” and a Vulgar Latin verb of the form .frid3e or .fret3, which came from Germanic .frithuz, “peace.” The Old French word esfraier, “to disturb,” which subsequently developed from .exfred3, came into Middle English as affraien, a verb whose earliest recorded sense, found in a text composed possibly around 1300, is “to frighten, disturb.” Affray, the descendant of affraien, is little used in contemporary writing and speech, but the same cannot be said of the descendant of the past participle of affraien, our adjective afraid.

离开平静的状态，这个概念恰好是exfredare 一词的构词基础。 这个词字面意思为“离开平静”，是afraid 一词的俗拉丁语始祖。 这个俗拉丁语词汇由意为“离开”的拉丁语前缀ex- 和俗拉丁语动词形式的 fridare 或 fretare 组成， 这一俗拉丁语动词形式又源自日耳曼语frithuz, 意为“平静”。 古法语单词esfraier, 意为“打扰”是随后从 exfredare 发展而来的， 其以affraien 的动词形式传入中古英语，这个词最早的有记载的意义为“吓唬，打扰”，见载于约1300年的一篇文章中。 Affray 为 affraien 的派生词，其很少在当代文章以及口语中使用， 但这不等于说明affraien 的过去分词的派生词，现在的形容词 afraid 也很少使用
