Danger, Peril, Hazard

Danger, Peril, Hazard – What’s the Difference?

Danger is the most common word. It means something could hurt you.
"Fire is a danger."
"Walking alone at night can be dangerous."

Peril is a stronger, more dramatic word. It means great danger, often immediate.
"The climbers were in peril during the storm."
"The hero saved the city from peril."

Hazard means a specific risk or something that could be dangerous. We use it for safety warnings.
"Wet floors are a hazard."
"Smoking is a health hazard."

Now, try this: "The icy road is a ___ for drivers."
