Note : In his original draft, see https://picryl.com/media/sigmund-freud-papers-oversize-1859-1985-writings-1894-wie-die-angst-entsteht-7c7001, Sigmund Freud entitles this Draft ‘Wie die Angst Entsteht’ and a more accurate translation of Angst is ‘angst’ rather than ‘anxiety’ as used both by James Strachey & Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson.
Whenever ‘anxiety’ is given in English translations of Sigmund Freud’s texts, then it is necessary to check the original German to see if Angst is being used.

NOTE ON TRANSLATION, July 2022
Sigmund Freud uses the term ‘angst’. This has been translated by James Strachey & Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson as ‘anxiety’. A nearer translation is ‘angst’ which will be substituted, from now on.
Translations of ‘angst’ from the internet:
Angst: anxiety; fear; fright; panic; terror; stuffiness; oppression; heaviness; sinking feeling
Also Angst : anxiety, fear, fright, dread, & fear of failure, anxiety, anguish, dread, apprehension, fear, fright, trepidation, alarm
Jacques Lacan, who read Sigmund Freud in the original German, translates ‘angst’ from German into French as ‘l’angoisse’.
Cormac Gallagher & Adrian Price both translate ‘l’angoisse’ as ‘Anxiety’. This is mistaken. It is almost certain that Seminar X should be called, From The Angst (De l’angoisse).
Most references in translations of Lacanian texts to ‘anxiety’ should be changed to ‘anguish’. However, this means looking up what original word, Angoisse, was used.
