| 词汇 | fret |
| 词源 | fret. Tracing fret back to Middle English we find that the word, related to the German fressaen, primarily meant “vora- cious eating by animals.” Today fret means only to worry, its new sense probably arising from the idea that worry eats into one, as in the expression “What’s eating you?” |
