/θrɛt/ – noun
Definition: mối đe dọa.
A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, a “threat” is a communicated intent to inflict harm or loss on another person, typically with the intention of coercing or intimidating that person into taking a certain action or refraining from taking a certain action. Threats can be verbal, written, or communicated through gestures or other means, and can include expressions of intent to commit violence, damage property, or engage in other harmful conduct.
Example: The defendant was charged with making a threat to harm the victim, in violation of the state’s criminal code.
