Definition
An intense, irrational fear of insects.
Etymology
From Greek 'entomon' (insect) and 'phobos' (fear). Formed following the standard medical terminology pattern for phobias in the early 20th century.
Kelly Says
Entomophobia is one of the most common phobias, but it's deeply irrational—insects kill far fewer people annually than falling coconuts or being struck by lightning.
