Por ejemplo: acoso leve/acoso grave, acoso/acoso continuado.

Note from asker:
| Gracias, Merab, según el DRAE, estarías en lo cierto, porque hostigamiento parece ser más leve que acoso, pero al buscar otros enlaces, por ejemplo, https://cuestione.com/nacional/las-diferencias-entre-acoso-y-hostigamiento-sexual/#:~:text=Y%20%C2%BFqu%C3%A9%20dice%20la%20ley,de%20contrato%20para%20el%20infractor., el hostigamiento parece más grave. Seguiré investigando. Saludos. |

acoso
es una traducción literal del término. En ese caso no hay dudas.
Note from asker:
| Hola, Victoria. ¡Gracias! O bien no entiendo tu respuesta o no has leído lo que se pregunta. Se trata de hacer una distinción en español de ambos términos, es decir, proponer un término para harassement y otro para stalking en función de lo que se recoge en el enlace suministrado. Saludos. |

acoso/acecho (ilícito)
En español, hace falta distinguir si el acecho es una acción o una figura penal.
Según An English-Spanish Dictionary of Criminal Law and Procedure:
stalking
1. (crime) persecución ilícita, acecho ilícito. Delito consistente en perseguir a una persona, o merodear cerca de ella, a menudo de forma clandestina, para molestarla, acosarla o someterla a una acción con fines delictivos.
2. (act) persecución sigilosa, persecución, acecho sigiloso, acecho. Acción y efecto de perseguir a una persona sigilosamente.

Puede ser que stalking tenga que ver con violencia de género, violaciones y agresiones sexuales, pero no son elementos necesarios del tipo penal norteamericano que no tiene equivalente funcional en el derecho español o latinoamericano.

| Gracias, Sandro: buena argumentación, pero no quedo convencido. Se trata de del ámbito de violencia de género, violaciones, agresiones sexuales, etc. Nunca he oído usar acecho en este ámbito. Saludos. |

Stalking
Stalking
Criminal activity consisting of the repeated following and harassing of another person.Stalking is a distinctive form of criminal activity composed of a series of actions that taken individually might constitute legal behavior. For example, sending flowers, writing love notes, and waiting for someone outside her place of work are actions that, on their own, are not criminal. When these actions are coupled with an intent to instill fear or injury, however, they may constitute a pattern of behavior that is illegal. Though anti-stalking laws are gender neutral, most stalkers are men and most victims are women.
Stalking first attracted widespread public concern when a young actress named Rebecca Shaeffer, who was living in California, was shot to death by an obsessed fan who had stalked her for two years. The case drew extensive media coverage and revealed how widespread a problem stalking was to both celebrity and noncelebrity victims. Until the enactment of anti-stalking laws, police had little power to arrest someone who behaved in a threatening but legal way.

No parece que "stalking" sea simplemente merodear.

Discussion
asediar
1. Cercar un lugar fortificado, para impedir que salgan quienes están en él o que reciban socorro de fuera.
2. Presionar insistentemente a alguien.
acechar
Observar, aguardar cautelosamente con algún propósito.
"Harass ", por otra parte, significa "to exhaust, fatigue, annoy continually, to worry and impede by repeated raids", etc.
En español existe "hostigar" y "acosar". En mi opinión la primera expresa mayor agresividad que la segunda. Se habla de hostigar al enemigo, por ejemplo, a través de ataques frecuentes y sorpresivos, como sucede en la guerra de guerrilas.
"Acosar" implica más bien merodear, rondar a alguien, perseguir de una manera menos agresiva que "hostigar". Claro que en esto hay mucho de subjetividad.
Me vienen de pronto a la mente los términos injuria y calumnia, que aunque son sinónimos, no son lo mismo legalmente. O robo y hurto, homicidio y asesinato, etc.

El acoso sexual consiste en avances improcedentes, etc., mientas que el abuso sexual ya es una agresión sexual prácticamente.
Suerte.
