Which is the definition of hippophobia?

A) Having love for horses

B) Having love for hippos

C) Having a fear of hippos


Answer :

Answer:

It's fear of horses.

Explanation:

The hippo- prefix means "horse-", see hippodrome - a Greek arena for horse racing.

The -phobia suffix means "fear" (note that words like homophobia are somewhat new and bend that meaning - but still suggest that the hate often comes from fear).

Putting the two together we know that hippophobia means "fear of horses".
