Fraiß or Fraisch , adjective : fraißam , had the meaning of:
- Horror ,
- fear ,
- Pain ,
- Danger and also
- Blood jurisdiction (see also the term Fraiss in legal language).
According to Johann Christoph Adelung, the term Fraiss or Fraisch was only used in Upper German and partly in Franconia . The term Fraiss and its derivatives were already considered obsolete in the early modern period .
In his critical grammatical dictionary of High German dialect , Johann Christoph Adelung points out that this word without a doubt comes from freeze off , which in some dialects is friesian, and initially meant frost, shudder, and after a common figure, fear, horror , Danger . He refers, among other things, to fresh and frost and the old Swedish fraesa . Another interpretation refers to a demonic origin and moves the word closer to Gothic freisan (arouse fear) and Middle High German vreisheit (danger, cruelty) and thus from the legal term Fraiss .
As Frais and Gefraiß were also identified by cramps and spasms associated, epileptiform partly disease symptoms. Sperrfrais was a name for the masticatory muscle cramp . Zahnfrais was the same as "Tooth Fever".
