Etymology

**Effrayé** (noun form of the adjective) comes from the past participle of the French verb *effrayer* “to frighten.” *Effrayer* itself evolved from Old French *frayer* “to frighten,” which is derived from the Late Latin verb *fereor* “to be afraid / to frighten.” The prefix *en-* was later added to form *effrayer*, and the participle *effrayé* became a noun meaning “state of fear.”
