Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The verb 'arouse' derives from the Middle English 'arouzen', a blend of 'a-' (prefix indicating action) and 'rousen' (to stir or shake), originating from Old French and Germanic roots. 'Suspicion' comes from the Old French 'suspicion', ultimately from the Latin 'suspicio', meaning distrust or mistrust. Together, the collocation has been used since the early modern period to describe the activation of doubt or distrust in someone's mind.
