[Dr. Sivana]

why else did I ever take a Latin class.

"-phobia" is Greek, not Latin. Such mashes are not unknown, but they are usually ugly.

On the point about exactly which class did the dirty work, you got me again. You guys are very sharp.

I think I’ll stick with matriphobia. Maybe mitriphobia might be a little closer to the classical Greek form, but I’ll stick with my original thought.
