Stews with anxiety
Frets are the raised metal strips across a guitar or similar instrument's neck that divide it into segments for producing different notes.
To fret is to press strings against these strips.
Separately, to fret is to worry or be anxious: Don't fret about it.
As a noun, a fret can mean a state of vexation: She was in a fret over the delay.
