Nguồn gốc từ
ine-pro From Late Middle English timorous, borrowed from Old French temoros, temorous, from timōrōsus, from timōr- (the stem of Latin timor (dread, fear)) + -ōsus. Timor is derived from timeō (to be afraid of, fear) (further origin uncertain, possibly from Proto-Indo-European *temH- (dark)) + -or. timoroso.
