Spanish edit

Etymology edit

From Latin pavōrem. It may be a semi-learned term in its current form, preserving the intervocalic 'v' unlike other non-Iberian Romance cognates (compare the attested Old Spanish form paor); descendants of Latin metus (e.g. Spanish miedo) were the primary words for "fear" on the Iberian peninsula. See also the dialectal pavura, with a change of suffix as with Italian paura.[1]

Pronunciation edit

  • IPA(key): /paˈboɾ/ [paˈβ̞oɾ]
  • Rhymes: -oɾ
  • Syllabification: pa‧vor

Noun edit

pavor m (plural pavores)
