1944年,源于心理学中对德语 "Angst" 的专业使用,意为"神经质的恐惧、焦虑、内疚、懊悔",起源于古高地德语 "angust",来自原始日耳曼语 "*angustu- "(源头包括古弗里西亚语 "ongost"、古高地德语 "angust" 和中古荷兰语 "ancst" 等),概念类似于古英语 "enge"、古撒克逊语 "engi" 或哥特语 "aggwus" 的 "狭窄",根源为 PIE *anghosti-,是根词 *angh- 的带字首的形式,意为 "紧,痛苦的收缩,令人痛苦"。与 anger 相似。
George Eliot 于1849年使用了它(用德语),直到20世纪早期弗洛伊德作品的翻译才使其广为人知,但仍为外来词,直到1940年代才为广大人民所熟知。古英语中有一个同源词 "angsumnes",意为 "焦虑",但已经消失了。
Noun borrowed from German Angst, going back to Middle High German angest, going back to Old High German angust "distress, worry, anxiety," going back to West Germanic *angusti- (whence also Old Frisian ongesta, ongosta "anxiety, danger," Middle Dutch anxt, anxte), derivative, with a noun suffix *-ti- or *-sti-, of the Germanic base *angu- seen in Old English enge "narrow," ange "distressing," Old High German ango "anxious" — more at anger >entry 1 Note: If the suffix in question is *-ti-, then the element *angus- is perhaps directly comparable with the s-stem noun reflected in Latin angor "suffocation, anguish," Sanskrit áṁhaḥ "anxiety, trouble" (see anger >entry 1) or Latin angustus "narrow" (see anguish >entry 1). Verb derivative of angst >entry 1
The first known use of angst was in 1872
