Is there a legitimate list of phobias? I just don't think a fandom "phobia wiki" seems like a legitimate resource.

- OJFord 9y agoOther than a comprehensive dictionary? I'm not sure. I should think joining 'phobia' to any Greek noun is acceptable though. Perhaps verbs too.
- OJFord 9y agoI looked this up by the way, Collin's Concise Plus says it's a 'combining form', and may be used generally (without even saying the prefix should be Greek as I guessed above) to indicate a phobia of what precedes it. Probably better to stick to Greek prefixes though - there can't be many words you could choose that wouldn't have an already in use or at least more sensible sounding Greek alternative. 'Internet', perhaps.
