Meaning of dolicologofobia




furoya

dolicologofobia
  78

In some old forum where he participated we set out to look for long words in Spanish, about the bulo hypopotomonstrosquipedaliophobia. But the most important point was that there was no official technical voice for this rare fear, so I proposed - half seriously, half jokingly - to 'dolicologophobia'. And in this current entry I had to do a little memory until I remember where it came from. For starters, logophobia was already used as the "fear of words" in ironic mode, but for that matter it served me. I only had to choose a Greek voice for "long", preferably that it was no longer used as a prefix in Spanish and thus prevent it from modifying the whole other phobia. And it exists, it's 948; 959; 955; 953; 967; 959; 962; (dolixos) which is interpreted as "long", just in extension. Today there are a few more that spread throughout the web, such as magnoverbophobia, megalogophobia, macrolexiphobia, . . . approved by the SAR and some already rejected by Wikipedia. Because, let's just accept it, it's not a real phobia.
