约1200年,“身体或精神上的剧烈痛苦”,源自于古法语 anguisse, angoisse “窒息感、苦恼、焦虑、愤怒”(12世纪),源自于拉丁语 angustia(复数 angustiae)“紧张、狭窄、困难”,比喻为“苦恼、困难”,源自于 ang(u)ere “扼杀、折磨”(源自于 PIE 词根 *angh- “紧、痛苦的收缩、痛苦”)。
Noun Middle English angoise, angwissche, borrowed from Anglo-French anguisse, angoisse, going back to Latin angustia (usually in plural angustiae) "narrowness, narrow passage, limitations, straits" (Late Latin, "suffering, distress"), noun derivative (with -ia -y >entry 2), of angustus "narrow, confined, straitened," probably from *angos- (whence angōr-, angor "suffocation, anguish") + *-to-, adjective suffix — more at anger >entry 1 Verb Middle English anguisen, anguischen "to grieve, be distressed," borrowed from Anglo-French anguisser, angoisser "to distress, cause pain to, (as reflexive verb) suffer, be tormented," going back to Late Latin angustiāre "to compress, afflict, be in difficult circumstances," derivative of Latin angustia "narrowness, straits" — more at anguish >entry 1
The first known use of anguish was in the 13th century
