#Homophobia and a #ListOf other #Phobias | @VeryWell @ListOfFears | #Homophobe #Homophobic #Homophobes #Phobia
Well, 'I redefine it' at the forum hyperlinked-to below. But what's important here is 'that word'---which you only know-about because it's connected to other words you know better, built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...
The word “Homophobia” is built on Homo- (short for Homosexual) + #Phobia (the word originally meant "Fear of Man").
"Phobia" i built on ancient words that mean "to Run" (also the foundation of words that mean Stream & "to |Flee" ... |Phobos--the inner satellite of the planet Mars--is named after Phobos (a mythological personification of Fear & a companion of Ares)).
