"Dread, sometimes called angst, anxiety or even anguish is a term that
is common to many existentialist thinkers. Although its concrete
properties may vary slightly, it is generally held to be the
experience of our freedom and responsibility. The archetypal example
is the example of the experience one has when standing on a cliff
where one not only fears falling off it, but also dreads the
possibility of throwing oneself off. In this experience that "nothing
is holding me back," one senses the lack of anything that
predetermines you to either throw yourself off or to stand still, and
one experiences one's own freedom.

"dread
c.1175, from O.E. ondrædan "counsel or advise against," also
"fear," from on- "against," second element of uncertain origin; prefix
wore off after 12c. Dreadlocks first recorded 1960, so called from the
dread they presumably aroused in beholders, but Rastafarian dread
(1974) also has a sense of "fear of the Lord," expressed in part as
alienation from contemporary society."
