1.  apprehension, consternation, dismay, terror, fright, panic, horror, trepidation. Fear, alarm, dread  all imply a painful emotion experienced when one is confronted by threatening danger or evil. Alarm  implies an agitation of the feelings caused by awakening to imminent danger; it names a feeling of fright or panic: He started up in alarm. Fear  and dread  usually refer more to a condition or state than to an event. Fear  is often applied to an attitude toward something, which, when experienced, will cause the sensation of fright: fear of falling. Dread  suggests anticipation of something, usually a particular event, which, when experienced, will be disagreeable rather than frightening: She lives in dread of losing her money.  The same is often true of fear,  when used in a negative statement: She has no fear she'll lose her money. 6.  apprehend, dread.
