Alarm se refiere tanto a un dispositivo que hace un sonido de advertencia como al sentimiento de miedo o preocupación repentina. Los despertadores despiertan a la gente, las alarmas de incendio advierten del peligro, y las alarmas de coche disuaden el robo. Como verbo, 'to alarm' significa causar miedo o preocupación.
