Demonophobia - Fear of demons or evil supernatural beings, from the Greek roots daimon (spirit, deity, or demon) and phobos (fear). The term entered English around the 1830s (noted in texts by W. Weir and G. Allan in 1834). #grammar #phobia #Halloween #wordoftheday #grammardiva #words

Coulrophobia - Fear of clowns, a popular term, not from psychology, possibly facetious, though the phenomenon is real. From Greek kolon, "limb," referring to a "stilt-walker," hence, "clown" and phobia. #grammar #wordoftheday #phobia #clown #grammardiva
