Perplexity; trouble. In familiar language, this word is often used with us; and, although it does not appear in any of the English glossaries, it is also employed colloquially in England. We say, 'the worry of business;' 'the worry of politics,' &c.
I am in the midst of the bustle attending the opening of the session [of Parliament]. ..... But the excitement and worry are more than I can stand in the present state of my health.--Lord Sydenham, Memoirs.
