Abstract
First, dictionary definitions of stress and stress-related terms are given. Next, a review of Cannon's, Selye's, and other early pioneers' stress definitions are given. Following this, current definitions are reviewed. Finally, using new findings, an up-dated version of the stress concept is presented.
