No, the word "afraid" is not derived from "fray." "Afraid" comes from Old English "a-," meaning "on," and "faran," meaning "to go," combining to form "a-faran," eventually evolving into "afraid" with the sense of feeling fear. "Fray" has a different origin, coming from Old French "freier," meaning "to disturb" or "frighten."
