Cognate with Gothic (gudafaurhts, “god-fearing, devout”).

From god + fearing, likely an alteration of Middle English goddfrihti (“god-fearing”, literally “god-frighty”) and god-friht (“god-fearing”) (whence modern English god-fright), from 古期英語 godfyrht (“god-fearing”). Compare Old High German gotforht (“god-fearing”).
