risk definition:
Risk is a concept that denotes a potential negative impact to some characteristic of value that may arise from a future event, or we can say that „Risks are events or conditions that may occur, and whose occurrence, if it does take place, has a harmful or negative effect“. Exposure to the consequences of uncertainty constitutes a risk. In everyday usage, risk is often used synonymously with the probability of a known loss.
