distraughtadj.

/dɪˈstrɔːt/

Forms: Also Middle English–1600s des-, Middle English dys-, 1500s distraghte, 1600s distrought.

Etymology: modification of distract adj.Latin distractus. Not of ordinary phonetic origin, but due apparently to association with other past participles in -ght , as caught , taught , bought , brought , sought , thought , wrought . Perhaps more immediately influenced by straught , past participle of stretch n.; as the latter had also the form streight , straight , it may be that distraught = distreight = distrait n.

archaic.

1. Mentally distracted, by being drawn or driven in diverse directions or by conflicting emotions; deeply agitated or troubled; = distracted adj. 4.
