Risk

From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Risk is the possibility of being hurt. A lot of the time, people say risk, but are actually talking about probability, which is how likely something is to happen. To people who have jobs in judging risks, "risk" is not only how likely something bad is to happen, but also how bad it could be.

Another word that sometimes means the same thing as risk is danger.
