+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[inh|itc-pro|*pawē-|t=to be frightened]], [[inh|ine-pro|*pow-eh₁-|t=to fear]].^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary) Cognate with [[sga|omun|t=fear]] and [[wlm|ouyn|t=fear]], from Proto-Celtic ⟨*ofno-⟩, and [[m|sga|úath|t=fear]].^(de Vaan 2008) Walde–Hofmann and Ernout–Meillet instead take it as a stative counterpart of [[m|la|paviō|t=to strike]], “to be struck”, which the OLD and Lewis and Short also mention.^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan gives Plautus as its first author,^(de Vaan 2008) as the ''Amphitruo'': “they raise their heads, both of them (the snakes)” – “oh dear!” – “don't be afraid”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to be frightened or terrified, as in Plautus, and in Juvenal to show one's fear; with an object it is to be afraid of something, as in the ''Cistellaria'', “I fear this and I dread that, so wholly am I in terror”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Festus records that the ancients said corn “feared” when it did not come out of the sheath properly.^(OLD 2012)
