I discuss the (thankfully imaginary) situation in a forum you can access through 'the emboldened link(s)' below; you can pick up some spare change by joining-in there, but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Claustrophobia” is built on ancient words that mean "Fear + a Bolt, Means of Closing, Place Shut-in, Confined Space, Frontier Fortress (Cloister)."
#Claustrophobic #Claustrophilia
The word “Lethargy” is built on ancient words that mean "Forgetting, Forgetfulness (see Latent) + Idle (see Argon)."
#Lethargic
I looked for 'the word for the fear of lethargy,' and the closest thing I could find was 'the word for "the fear of Fatigue."
The word “Kopophobia” is built on ancient words that mean "Fear + Fatigue."
#Kopophobic
