Oxford Collocations Dictionaryadjective- awful
- difficult
- dire
- …
- be caught in
- be in
- face
- …
- in a/the predicament
Word Originlate Middle English (in Aristotelian logic): from late Latin praedicamentum ‘something predicated’ (rendering Greek katēgoria ‘category’), from Latin praedicare, from prae ‘beforehand’ + dicare ‘make known’. From the sense ‘category’ arose the sense ‘state of being, condition’; hence ‘unpleasant situation’.
