The adjective harrowed describes an anxious, troubled feeling. You may tell your friends you're fine, but your harrowed face betrays the fact that you're worried about your missing cat.
After a sleepless night spent fretting about your cat, your harrowed expression will disappear instantly when he comes strolling in the door at breakfast time, meowing. Harrowed, along with the adjective harrowing, comes from the verb harrow. This word, literally "plow the earth," gained a figurative meaning of "distress greatly" after Shakespeare used it that way in Hamlet. While harrowing things can be terrifying, harrowed captures more of a worried, anguished feeling.
