Word of the Week ... XVIII

This week's word is a word I have heard for the first time and immediately thought, 'I have to look it up, and if it's something useful, it will go on my blog!' Well, here it is:

"trepidation"

Meaning: It someone has trepidations about something, he is prejudiced and somehow afraid of it, doesn't trust it and/or has a bad feeling about it.

Example: Whenever she sees a black cat in the morning, she has trepidations for the rest of the day.

Did you know this word before, and if so, in which context(s) do you use it?
