сущ.

устрашение; отпугивание

Examples from texts

The frightening thing about it, she thought, was its stow, deliberate movement, its sense of power, its seeming confidence that nothing could prevent it from doing what it was doing.
Пугало, как отметила про себя Кэт. Медленная неумолимость движения, ощущение мощи, уверенности, что никто не в силах помешать ей делать то, чем она занимается в настоящее время.

It should be kept in mind however, that being open to believe and open to doubt both involve instability, which can be quite disorienting and even frightening to some.
Однако следует иметь в виду, что состояние открытости к убеждению и сомнению подразумевает нестабильность, которая может дезориентирующей и даже пугающей.

And on the wall below, on a bench, on a mirror in the car (evidently pasted hurriedly, awry), everywhere the same white, frightening rash.
И на стене внизу, на скамейке, на зеркале в вагоне (видимо, наклеено наспех – небрежно, криво) – везде та же самая белая, жуткая сыпь.

But now, as she said good night, she saw that Melanie’s cheeks were suddenly crimson and she was trembling. Her eyes were on the carpet and, though she seemed overcome with some frightening emotion, she seemed shyly happy.
