    [Noun]  | "fraught" | \ ˈfrȯḵt \


    1: load, cargo


    Origin: 14th century ;

     Middle English fraght, fraught (early Scots fraught), borrowed from Middle Dutch & Middle Low German vracht "cargo, charge for transport," borrowed from Old Frisian, going back to West Germanic *fraihti-, probably "what is given over or consigned to someone" {mat|freight:1|};

      * Note : English has borrowed the same continental Germanic etymon in two distinct forms, exemplified by {fraught:2|fraught:2} and synonymous {freight:1|freight:1}. The first of these was a loan from Middle Dutch and Middle Low German, though the vocalism suggests that its source is ultimately Old Frisian. At a relatively early date it spread south and west into the Dutch speech area, and east into the Low German area, presumably as a commercial term, and then from these areas to English and the Scandinavian languages. (See M. de Vaan, "West-Germanic *ai in Frisian," Amsterdamer Beiträge zur alteren Germanistik, Band 67 [2011], pp. 301-14.) English also borrowed Middle Dutch vrecht, whence {freight:1|freight:1}, with the vocalism exemplifying the normal development of Germanic *ai in this position in Dutch. In present-day English, only freight continues the noun, The noun and verb fraught are now only represented by Scots fraucht, fracht, still perhaps in regional use (see: The Concise Scots Dictionary), while fraught as an adjective persists only in figurative senses.;
