Etymology of AFFRIGHTFUL

The word "affrightful" is a combination of two words, "affright" and "-ful".

The term "affright" originated from Middle English and is derived from the Old English word "afrīhtan", which means "to frighten, terrify". It combines the prefix "a-" meaning "on, to" and the root "frighten", which has Germanic origins.

The suffix "-ful" is an English suffix that means "full of" or "characterized by". It is derived from Old English "-full", which ultimately comes from the Proto-Germanic "-fullaz".

Therefore, when combined, "affrightful" means "full of fright" or "characterized by fright or terror".
