<注释>Old Englishfôr, the ancestor of our word fear, meant .calamity, disaster,.but not the emotion engendered by such an event.This is in line with the meaning of the prehistoric Common Germanic word.fôraz, .danger,. which is the source of words with similar senses in other Germanic languages,such as Old Saxon and Old High Germanf3r, .ambush, danger,. and Old Icelandic f3r, .treachery, damage.. Scholars, in fact, have determined the form and meaning of Germanic.fôraz by working backward from the forms and the meanings of its descendants. The most important cause of the change of meaning in the wordfear was probably the existence in Old English of the related verb fôran, which meant .to terrify, take by surprise.. Fear is first recorded in Middle English with the sense .emotion of fear. in a work composed around 290.
古英语fôr 是 fear 的前身， 意为.不幸，灾难.，而不是因不幸或灾难引起的情绪。这符合史前普通日耳曼词feraz 的意思.危险的.， 是其他日耳曼语言中有相近意思的词的起源，如古撒克逊语和古高地德语far， .埋伏，危险，.和古冰岛语 far .挖掘，破坏.。 事实上，学者们已经通过对它的衍生词的形式和意思的反向研究决定德语feraz 的形式和意思。 引起词语fear 变化的最重要原因可能是古英语中相关动词 fôran的存在， 意为.害怕，被惊奇抓住。. Fear 第一次在中世纪英语作为.害怕的情绪.被记录下来是在一部约290年左右创作的作品中
