  Afraid \A*fraid"\, p. a. [OE. afrayed, affraide, p. p. of
     afraien to affray. See Affray, and cf. Afeard.]
     Impressed with fear or apprehension; in fear; apprehensive.
     [Afraid comes after the noun it limits.] ``Back they
     recoiled, afraid.'' --Milton.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: This word expresses a less degree of fear than
           terrified or frightened. It is followed by of before
           the object of fear, or by the infinitive, or by a
           dependent clause; as, to be afraid of death. ``I am
           afraid to die.'' ``I am afraid he will chastise me.''
           ``Be not afraid that I your hand should take.'' --Shak.
           I am afraid is sometimes used colloquially to soften a
           statement; as, I am afraid I can not help you in this
           matter.
           [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Fearful; timid; timorous; alarmed; anxious.
          [1913 Webster]
