什麼時候你會frantic來形容人或事呢，

比方說：支持的隊伍獲得總冠軍，frantic fans激動到跳河

或者，高興到發瘋，害怕到發瘋，疼痛的發瘋時你也可以用frantic這個字來形容

ex.范進中舉

frantic字源：c.1362, "insane," unexplained variant of M.E. frentik (see frenetic). Transf. meaning "affected by wild excitement" is from c.1477.

frantic這個字最早的意思是"insane精神錯亂的;瘋狂的"，frantic與我們接下來會講的frenetic是同源的

(補充：如果你已經不會搞混了，就不用看下面的解釋了)

fanatic  n.狂熱者;盲信者(宗教上的)

frantic   a.發狂似的

fraught

adj.充滿...的  [Filled with a specified element or elements; charged]

fraught的字源：c.1300, "laden" (of vessels), from M.E. fraughten "to load (a ship) with cargo," fromfraght "cargo, lading of a ship," var. of freight, infl. by M.Du. vrachten "to load or furnish with cargo," from P.Gmc. *fra-aihtiz (see freight). Figurative sense is first attested 1576.

fraught源於M.E. fraughten，意思是"to load (a ship) with cargo 將貨物運上船"，fraught與等會要講的freight是同源的
