   hesitate
   hesitate Etymologically, to hesitate means 'to become stuck'. It comes from Latin haesitare, a derivative of haerere, 'hold fast, stick' from which the English words in this unit come. The basic idea of hesitate refers to being 'held back', or in speech of 'stammering', and so of being unable to act or speak promptly or decisively.
