Origin: Apparently formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: an element of unknown origin, -phobia comb. form.
Etymology: < a first element of unknown origin + -phobia comb. form.It has been suggested that the first element derives from Byzantine Greek κωλοβαθριστής stilt-walker ( < Hellenistic Greek κωλόβαθρον stilt < ancient Greek κῶλον limb (see colon n.2) + βάθρον base, pedestal: see anabathrum n.), but this does not satisfactorily account for the form, and the element may be of arbitrary origin.
Extreme or irrational fear of clowns.
