Trepidation焦恐
When a visit from a ghost sends shivers down your spine, or when a brush with a vampire gives you goose bumps, what are you feeling? Trepidation, of course. Trepidation refers to an experience of fear or alarm that often results in trembling or quivering. The word is derived from two Latin stemstrepidare meaning "to tremble, hurry" and trepidus meaning "alarmed" or "scared." If you plan on feeling trepidation this Halloween, our next word might give you a reason.
