Etymology of AFFRIGHTS

The word "affrights" is derived from the Middle English term "afrighten" which means "to terrify" or "to frighten". It is a combination of the prefix "a-" meaning "on" or "in", and the Old English word "frighten" which means "to cause fear". Over time, "afrighten" was transformed into "affright" as a noun or verb to indicate the state or act of being frightened. However, "affrights" is an archaic form of the word that is not commonly used in contemporary English.
