"CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL" の 'ON PARENTING' の章からの引用です。
The squirrel was excellent in climbing until he developed frustration in the flying class where his teacher made him start from the ground up instead of from the treetop down. He also developed a "charlie horse" from overexertion and then got a C in climbing and a D in running.
忘れていましたが、"charlie horse" はこれまでに２度も取り上げました。 最初はStephen Kingの 'The Running Man' からで次はReader's Digestの２０１９年６月号の記事から引用しました(8/2/2019)。 "charlie horse" の意味はリンク先の過去の記事を参照して下さい。 今日は上記引用文で使われている動詞の "develop" の用法が気になったので辞書の説明を見ました。
・Oxford English Dictionary: develop (something) to begin to have something such as a disease or a problem; to start to affect somebody/something: She developed lung cancer at the age of sixty.
・Collins Dictionary: If a problem or difficulty develops, it begins to occur.: ...blood clots in his lungs, a problem which developed from a leg injury.
・Cambridge English Dictionary: If you develop an illness or problem, or if it develops, you start to suffer from it: The study showed that one in twelve women is likely to develop breast cancer.
"develop" は新製品の開発とか、出現、開拓などの良い意味だけではなく、悪い事象にも使われるのですね（The conflict quickly developed into full-scale war.）。
