-phobia
(Redirected from
Dysmorphophobia )
The English suffix -phobia is used to describe fear or hatred (the latter is often ignored) of a particular thing or subject. Everyday language has established the use of this suffix as a mild or irrational fear with no serious substance; however, its origin is from areas of psychiatry which study serious phobias which disable a person's life. For more information on the psychiatric side of this, including how psychiatry groups phobias as "agoraphobia", "social phobia", or "simple phobia", see phobia .
The following is a list of words ending in -phobia , or a list of fears that have been given names. In most instances the words listed here are neologisms (made-up words) coined to demonstrate a grasp of Greek word roots rather than descriptions of an actual condition. Only a few of the following terms occur in the medical literature. In many cases, the naming of phobias is a word game .
Most of these terms were devised by adding the suffix -phobia to a Greek word for the object of the fear (some use a combination of a Latin root with the Greek suffix, which some consider linguistically impure).
Some claim that an attempt to create a list of phobias is an irrational endeavor because, theoretically, a person could be conditioned to be afraid of literally anything.
