1、worry 的老义是"掐住、扭",和 wring(拧、绞)、wriggle(扭动)同根。画面很直白:心事像一只手在拧你。
2、搭配记三个:worry about sth(为某事发愁)、Don't worry about it.(口头高频)、worry wart(口语里"特别爱操心的人")。
3、词形变化去 y 加 i:worried(担心的)、worrying(令人担心的)。近义辨析:fret(烦躁发愁)偏来回磨人,anxious(焦虑的)偏急着想要结果。

英语词源

worry
worry: [OE] Worry originally meant ‘strangle’. It comes from a prehistoric West Germanic *wurgjan, which also produced German wügen ‘choke, strangle’. The sense ‘harass physically’ (as in ‘dogs worrying sheep’) emerged in the 16th century, via an intermediate ‘seize by the throat’, and the modern sense ‘vex, disturb’ came on the scene in the 17th century, but the verb was not used intransitively until the mid- 19th century.
worry (v.)
Old English wyrgan "to strangle," from Proto-Germanic *wurgjan (cognates: Middle Dutch worghen, Dutch worgen, Old High German wurgen, German würgen "to strangle," Old Norse virgill "rope"), from PIE *wergh- "to turn" (see wring). Related: Worried; worrier; worrying.

The oldest sense was obsolete in English after c. 1600; meaning "annoy, bother, vex," first recorded 1670s, developed from that of "harass by rough or severe treatment" (1550s), as of dogs or wolves attacking sheep. Meaning "to cause mental distress or trouble" is attested from 1822; intransitive sense of "to feel anxiety or mental trouble" is first recorded 1860.
worry (n.)
"anxiety arising from cares and troubles," 1804, from worry (v.).
