中古英语 fere,起源于古英语 fær,意为“灾难,突如其来的危险,危险,突然袭击”,源自原始日耳曼语 *feraz,意为“危险”(源头还包括古萨克森语 far “伏击”,古诺尔斯语 far “伤害,苦恼,欺骗”,荷兰语 gevaar 以及德语 Gefahr “危险”),源自印欧语系 *pēr-,是 *per- (第3)的延长形式,意为“尝试、冒险”。
“恐惧” (fear)的意思经历了12世纪后期的发展,“对可能遇到的危险感到害怕和不安” 。一些现在表示恐惧的古英语词汇为 fyrhto, fyrhto,表示动词时为 ondrædan 。“对上帝怀有敬畏和战栗的感觉”源于约1400年。将“恐惧” put the fear of God 某人“威吓,使畏缩” 最早出现于殖民地的语境下,而这种用法的延伸往往基于一个常见的宗教短语:
Thus then we seek to put "the fear of God" into the natives at the point of the bayonet, and excuse ourselves for the bloody work on the plea of the benefits which we intend to confer afterwards. [Felix Adler, "The Religion of Duty," 1905]
因此,我们试图用刺刀的尖端给本地居民“灌输对上帝的敬畏之心”,并以之后我们打算提供的福利来为血腥的行径辩护。—— 费利克斯·阿德勒(Felix Adler),《责任的宗教》(The Religion of Duty),1905年。

Noun 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" — more at peril >entry 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 >entry 1. The meaning of the Middle and Modern English noun appears to be derivative of the verb (see fear >entry 2) rather than a development of the Old English meaning. Verb Middle English feren "to frighten, be afraid of," going back to Old English fǣran, fēran "to take by surprise, frighten," weak verb derivative (as also Old Saxon fāron "to lurk in wait for, frighten," Old High German fārēn "to lurk in wait for, strive, devise ill against," Old Norse færa "to slight, taunt") of Germanic *fēra- or *fēran- — more at fear >entry 1
The first known use of fear was before the 12th century
