Etymology of FRIGHTNING

The word "frightening" is derived from the verb "frighten", which can be traced back to Middle English. It ultimately comes from the Old English word "fȳrhtan", which means "to frighten" or "to terrify". "Fȳrhtan" is related to the Old High German word "forhtōn", meaning "to fear" or "to be afraid". Both of these words, in turn, are believed to have originated from the Proto-Germanic root "furchtōną", meaning "to fear" or "to be afraid".
