Definition of Galeophobia
<
b>Galeophobia: An abnormally large and persistent fear of
sharks. Sufferers from this phobia experience anxiety even though
they may be safe on a boat or in an aquarium or on a beach. Hollywood
films depicting sharks as calculating, vengeful diabolical monsters
have no doubt enkindled the fear of sharks in many persons. So have
validated reports of sharks venturing into rivers and lakes.
"Galeophobia" is derived from the Greek words "galeos" (shark with
markings resembling those on a weasel) and "phobos"
(fear). "Galeophobia" is also sometimes used as alternate term for
ailurophobia, fear of cats, because the Greek word "galeos" is
derived from "galee," a Greek meaning "polecat" and "weasel."
