    [Noun]  | "fear" | \ ˈfir \


    1: an unpleasant often strong emotion caused by anticipation or awareness of danger

    2: a particular instance or category of this emotion —often used in plural

    3: a state marked by this emotion

    Origin: 12th century ;

     Middle English fer, going back to Old English fǣr, fēr "unexpected danger, peril," going back to Germanic *fēra- or *fēran- (whence also Old Saxon fār "lurking danger," Old High German fāra "ambush, danger," Old Norse fár "evil, mischief, plague"), perhaps going back to a lengthened-grade nominal derivative of a proposed Indo-European verbal base *per- "test, risk" {mat|peril:1|};

      * Note : Attested in Gothic only in the presumed derivative ferja, translating Greek enkáthetos "one put in secretly, spy." Though the etymology proposed above is conventional in dictionaries, the original meaning of the Germanic etymon and its relation to a putative Indo-European *per- are uncertain. See note at {peril:1|peril:1}. The meaning of the Middle and Modern English noun appears to be derivative of the verb (see: {fear:2|fear:2}) rather than a development of the Old English meaning.;
