Etymology

The French adjective **dangereuse** comes from **dangereux**, formed from the verb **dangier** “to endanger, to threaten.” **Dangier** itself entered Old French from Late Latin *danger*, a word borrowed from the Frankish (Germanic) root *dangere* meaning “to threaten.” Thus the modern feminine form is a regular adaptation of a Germanic‑derived French adjective.
