註釋
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.
離開平靜的狀態，這個概念恰好是exfredare 一詞的構詞基礎。 這個詞字面意思為「離開平靜」，是afraid 一詞的俗拉丁語始祖。 這個俗拉丁語詞彙由意為「離開」的拉丁語前綴ex- 和俗拉丁語動詞形式的 fridare 或 fretare 組成， 這一俗拉丁語動詞形式又源自日耳曼語frithuz, 意為「平靜」。 古法語單詞esfraier, 意為「打擾」是隨後從 exfredare 發展而來的， 其以affraien 的動詞形式傳入中古英語，這個詞最早的有記載的意義為「嚇唬，打擾」，見載於約1300年的一篇文章中。 Affray 為 affraien 的派生詞，其很少在當代文章以及口語中使用， 但這不等於說明affraien 的過去分詞的派生詞，現在的形容詞 afraid 也很少使用
