[transitive] worry something (of a dog狗) to attack animals, especially sheep, by running after and/or biting them攻击，撕咬（动物，尤指羊）

词源Old English wyrgan ‘strangle’, of West Germanic origin. In Middle English the original sense of the verb gave rise to the meaning ‘seize by the throat and tear’, later figuratively ‘harass’, which led to the sense ‘cause anxiety to’ (early 19th century, the date also of the noun).
