(1) is correct: The word anxiety is derived from the Latin "anxietas".
Some people may decide not to use the quote marks.

Thanks.

Does the period make any difference? For example, is it right to write as below?

The word anxiety is derived from the Latin "anxietas", meaning, to choke or throttle.

 

[probus]

The period makes a difference, in that we end every sentence with a full stop.

(How's that for marrying BrE with AmE?)

I can't remember what the Latin anxietas means, but it is a nominative plural noun, not a verb. To choke or throttle, my foot. Probably anxietas means worries.
