(Refers to the possibility of being exposed to danger or harm, which encapsulates a broader concept than 'risk'.)
The possibility of something bad happening or the potential for loss, injury, or other undesirable outcomes; a danger or peril. It can also broadly refer to the state of being exposed to or susceptible to danger or harm, similar to vulnerability, where the focus is on the susceptibility rather than just the probabilistic event itself.
