Phrases

out of danger

Origin

Middle English (in the sense 'jurisdiction or power', specifically 'power to harm'): from Old French dangier, based on Latin dominus 'lord'.

From the early Middle Ages into the 19th century danger meant ‘jurisdiction, power’, originally ‘the power of a lord and master, power to harm’. This reflects its origin in Latin dominus ‘lord’, the root of which also gave us dame, predominant (mid 16th century), and dungeon. In the later Middle Ages danger developed its main modern sense.
