Talk:fraught

Often we see that fraught means "filled" or "riddled", and, like those words, requires the following preposition "with". In that case, "fraught" would not mean "filled with" but merely "filled".

In other cases we see that "fraught" alone means "filled with emotion" specifically, as in this NYTimes article on 8th Dec 2006: "The transition from high school to college, from adolescence to legal adulthood, can be tricky for any teenager, but for the increasing number of young people who arrive on campus with diagnoses of serious mental disorders — and for their parents — the passage can be particularly fraught."

"...except in past participle", then it most probably is an adjective, is it not? --Backinstadiums (talk) 10:09, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
