Where did fraught come from?

The Word "fraught" originates from the Middle English term "fraughten," which means to load or to freight a ship. It is derived from the Old English "frēogan" meaning to furnish or supply. Over time, its meaning evolved to describe a situation filled with tension, difficulty, or emotional strain, often implying that something undesirable is present or imminent. Today, "fraught" is commonly used to convey a sense of anxiety or distress associated with a particular situation.
