Étymologie
The word "dangerous" comes from the Old French word 'dangeros,' which itself derives from 'danger,' meaning power or control, especially over life and death. Interestingly, 'danger' originally implied the power to inflict harm rather than harm itself. Over time, "dangerous" evolved to describe situations or things that could potentially cause harm.
