[Latin ānxietās, from ānxius, anxious. See anxious.]

Synonyms: anxiety, worry, care, concern, solicitude. These nouns are compared as they refer to troubled states of mind. Anxiety suggests feelings of fear and apprehension, especially when these emotions seem unrelated to objective sources: "Feelings of resentment and rage over this devious form of manipulation cannot surface in the child . . . because he does not see through the subterfuge. At the most, he will experience feelings of anxiety, shame, insecurity, and helplessness" (Alice Miller). Worry implies persistent doubt or fear that disturbs one's peace of mind: "Rich people have about as many worries as poor ones, I think" (Louisa May Alcott). Care denotes a burdened state of mind arising from heavy responsibilities: "To be happy one must be . . . well fed, unhounded by sordid cares" (H.L. Mencken). Concern stresses involvement in the source of mental unrest; it combines serious thought with emotion: "Concern for man himself and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors" (Albert Einstein). Solicitude is active and sometimes excessive concern for the well-being of another or others: "Animosity had given way first to grudging concessions of admiration and then to worried solicitude for Lindbergh's safety" (Warren Trabant).
