Dilemma: Der Begriff Dilemma stammt aus dem Griechischen und bedeutet „doppelte Annahme“ (aus di „zweifach“ + lemma „Voraussetzung, Annahme“). Bereits in der Antike wurde das Wort im Sinn von „Fangschluss“ verwendet, also der Formulierung eines „Entweder-oder“. Die in der Regel gleich unangenehmen oder ungünstigen Möglichkeiten, zwischen denen zu wählen war, wurden einst auch als Hörner des Dilemmas bezeichnet.
Im Deutschen kommt das Wort in der Bedeutung „Zwangslage (zwischen zwei Übeln)“ bereits seit dem 17. Jahrhundert vor.
