Fetishry

/ˈfɛtɪʃ.ri/ noun

Definition

The practice, collection, or worship of fetishes; the condition of being obsessively attached to fetish objects or behaviors.

Etymology

From 'fetish' plus the English suffix '-ry' (denoting practice, behavior, or collection). This creates a noun form similar to 'archery' or 'witchery' to describe fetish-related activities collectively.

Kelly Says

The '-ry' suffix transforms fetish from an individual attraction into an entire cultural practice or belief system—it's the same suffix used for witchery, which connects back to fetish's original meaning of magical objects.
