WORRY
What worry means
A feeling of anxiety or concern about something that might happen or a problem that exists.
Where the word comes from
From Old English *wyrgan*, meaning to strangle or choke. The sense shifted in Middle English to mean harassing or tormenting (as a dog worries prey), then to mental distress or anxiety. The word may trace to Proto-Germanic *wurgjan*, related to "wring," both suggesting the idea of twisting or constricting.
