Astrapophobia

/æstrəpoʊˈfoʊbiə/ noun

Definition

The irrational fear of lightning and thunder, similar to astraphobia; the two terms are often used interchangeably.

Etymology

From Greek 'astrape' (lightning) plus 'phobos' (fear), essentially synonymous with 'astraphobia.' The longer form may have emerged as medical terminology evolved.

Kelly Says

It's hilarious that we have two names for the same phobia—'astraphobia' and 'astrapophobia'—showing that medical terminology wasn't always standardized, and sometimes both versions just stick around!
