Synonyms: fear, fright, dread, terror, horror, panic, alarm, dismay, consternation, trepidation

Fright is sudden, usually momentary, great fear: In my fright, I forgot to lock the door.
Dread is strong fear, especially of what one is powerless to avoid: His dread of strangers kept him from socializing.
Terror is intense, overpowering fear: "And now at the dead hour of the night, amid the dreadful silence of that old house, so strange a noise as this excited me to uncontrollable terror" (Edgar Allan Poe).
Horror is a combination of fear and aversion or repugnance: Murder arouses widespread horror.

Trepidation is dread characteristically marked by trembling or hesitancy: "They were ... full of trepidation about things that were never likely to happen" (John Morley).

Word History: Old English fr, the ancestor of our word fear, meant "calamity, disaster," but not the emotion engendered by such an event. This is in line with the meaning of the prehistoric Common Germanic word *fraz, "danger," which is the source of words with similar senses in other Germanic languages, such as Old Saxon and Old High German fr, "ambush, danger," and Old Icelandic fr, "treachery, damage." Scholars have determined the form and meaning of Germanic *fraz by working backward from the forms and the meanings of its descendants. The most important cause of the change of meaning in the word fear was probably the existence in Old English of the related verb fran, which meant "to terrify, take by surprise." Fear is first recorded in Middle English with the sense "emotion of fear" in a work composed around 1290.

Fear 

(See also ANXIETY.)

have one’s heart in one’s mouth To be frightened or scared, fearful or afraid, anxious or tense. The allusion is to the supposed leaping of the heart into the mouth upon experiencing a sudden jolt or start.

Having their heart at their very mouth for fear, they did not believe that it was Jesus. (Nicholas Udall, Erasmus upon the New Testament, translated 1548)

make the hair stand on end To terrify, to scare or frighten, to fill with fear. The allusion is to the way an animal’s hair, especially that on the back of the neck, involuntarily stiffens and becomes erect in the face of danger.

As for the particulars, I’m sure they’d make your hair stand on end to hear them. (Frances Burney, Evelina, 1778)

shake in one’s shoes To be petrified, terrified, panic-stricken; to be scared out of one’s wits. The expression is often applied figuratively to corporate as well as individual bodies.

It had set the whole Liberal party “shaking in its shoes.” (Punch, March 15, 1873)

Variations are quake or shake in one’s boots.

shake like an aspen leaf To tremble, quake; to shiver, quiver. This metaphor derives from the aspen tree with its delicate leaves perched atop long flexible stems that flutter even in the slightest breeze. The expression was used as early as 1386 by Chaucer in his Canterbury Tales.
