| 单词 | 吓唬 |
| 释义 | 〔afraid〕The notion of removal from a state of peace happens to be the basis for constructing.exfredāre, literally "to remove from peace,” the Vulgar Latin ancestor of our wordafraid. This Vulgar Latin word is made up of the Latin prefixex-, "out of,” and a Vulgar Latin verb of the form .fridāre or .fretāre, which came from Germanic.frithuz, "peace.” The Old French wordesfraier, "to disturb,” which subsequently developed from .exfredāre, came into Middle English asaffraien, 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 ofaffraien, 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 〔deterrent〕a deterrent to theft.对窃贼的威慑物，吓唬窃贼的东西〔haze〕Perhaps from obsolete haze [to frighten] 可能源自 废语 haze [吓唬] 〔bugbear〕A fearsome imaginary creature, especially one evoked to frighten children.妖怪：一种想象出来的令人害怕的动物，尤指用来吓唬孩子的〔affright〕fyrhtan [to frighten] from fyrhto [fright] fyrhtan [吓唬] 源自 fyrhto [惊吓] 〔intimidate〕These verbs all mean to frighten into submission, compliance, or acquiescence.这些动词都表示通过吓唬使人屈服、顺从或默认。〔spook〕To frighten, especially to startle and cause nervous activity in (an animal or animals).吓唬：恐吓，特别是使（动物）吃惊和引起神经紧张〔flush〕To frighten (a game bird, for example) from cover.使飞起，使惊起：吓唬（例如猎鸟）使从隐蔽处出来〔cow〕To frighten with threats or a show of force.See Synonyms at intimidate 用威胁或显示武力的手段吓唬 参见 intimidate〔boo〕Used to express contempt, scorn, or disapproval or to frighten or surprise another.嘘：表示不满、轻蔑、反对或吓唬别人时发出的声音〔ghastly〕from gasten [to terrify] * see aghast 源自 gasten [吓唬，威胁，恐吓] * 参见 aghast〔intimidate〕Medieval Latin timidāre [to be timorous, to frighten] from Latin timidus [timid] * see timid 中世纪拉丁语 timidāre [胆怯；吓唬] 源自 拉丁语 timidus [怯懦的] * 参见 timid |
