A quick definition of apprehension:

Term: APPREHENSION

Definition: Apprehension can mean different things depending on the context. It can refer to when the police arrest someone for breaking the law. It can also mean understanding or believing something. For example, if someone is about to be hit, they might feel apprehension because they understand that they are in danger. Finally, apprehension can also mean feeling scared or anxious about something, like when someone is nervous about giving a speech in front of a crowd.

Verb: Apprehend

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Apprehension is the act of seizing someone in the name of the law or arresting them. It can also refer to the perception, comprehension, or belief of something, as well as fear or anxiety.

  • The police made an apprehension of the suspect in the robbery case.
  • In order for the crime of assault to occur, the victim must have apprehension of imminent harm.
  • Many people experience apprehension before giving a speech in public.

The first example illustrates the legal definition of apprehension, where someone is seized by the police. The second example shows how apprehension can refer to the perception or belief of something, in this case, the victim's belief that they were about to be harmed. The third example demonstrates how apprehension can also refer to fear or anxiety, which is a common feeling before public speaking.
