Etymology
From angst (“fear”) + haas (“hare”), a calque of German Angsthase, which could be based on the hare’s flight instinct, but is usually thought to be an alteration of unattested *Angsthose, from Hose (“trousers, pants”); compare Dutch bangebroek, English shit one's pants. See: German Nouns '
Angsthase', Dutch Nouns '
bangebroek'.
