<注釋>.Don`t worry. is a much milder injunction than it once would have been,for the wordworry has softened its sense greatly over the course of its history. Its Old English ancestor,wyrgan, meant .to strangle.. Its Middle English descendant,worien, kept this sense and developed the new sense .to grasp by the throat with the teeth and lacerate. or .to kill or injure by biting and shaking.. This is the way wolves or dogs might attack sheep, for example.In the 'th centuryworry began to be used in the sense .to harass, as by rough treatment or attack,. or .to assault verbally,. and in the 7th century the word took on the sense .to bother, distress, or persecute..It was a small step from this sense to the main modern senses .to cause to feel anxious or distressed. and .to feel troubled or uneasy,. first recorded in the 9th century.
