Ropes or cords of whatever type are composed of fibers that are bundled together to make larger structures; with wear and stress, these bundles can gradually come apart. When fibers are coming loose from the bundles to which they belong, the structure is said to be frayed. If the rope used to tie a knot is fraying, then the knot is fraying. Eventually, the knot will fail.
