Nguồn gốc từ
From Middle English dismayen, from *desmaiier, alteration of Old French esmaier (to frighten), probably from *exmagare (to deprive (someone) of strength, to disable), from ex- + *magare (to enable, empower), from Proto-Germanic *maginą, *maganą (might, power), from Proto-Indo-European *megʰ- (to be able).
