φοβάμαι

Etymology: From Ancient Greek φοβέομαι (phobéomai), meaning 'to be put to flight', 'to be frightened'. The root is related to English words like 'phobia' (an irrational fear) and 'hydrophobia' (fear of water). The original meaning in Ancient Greek was 'to flee in terror', but evolved to mean 'to fear' in Modern Greek.
