​ Furcht, feminine, ‘fear, terror, fright,’ from Middle High German vorhte, vorht, feminine, ‘fear, anxiety, apprehension,’ Old High German and Old Saxon forhta, forahta; abstract of fürchten. In Anglo-Saxon a modified abstract is found; compare Anglo-Saxon fyrhto (Gothic faurhtei), hence English fright, whence to frighten, to fright; English fear (see Gefahr), is not a cognate.
