hazards
Sources of harm
Hazards are dangers or sources of potential harm.
A hazard is something that poses risk: fire hazards, health hazards, occupational hazards.
In golf, hazards are obstacles like sand traps and water.
To hazard something is to risk it or venture it tentatively: I'd hazard a guess that she's not coming back.
