amaxophobian.

Brit.

/əˌmaksə(ʊ)ˈfəʊbɪə/, U.S.

/əˌmæksəˈfoʊbiə/

Forms: 1800s amaxaphobia, 1800s– amaxophobia.

Origin: A borrowing from Greek, combined with an English element; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item, or perhaps modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: Greek ἄμαξα , -phobia comb. form.

Etymology: < ancient Greek (Ionic) ἄμαξα (the form used by e.g. Homer and Herodotus), corresponding to ancient Greek (Attic) ἅμαξα chariot ( < ἅμα together (see hamadryad n.) + ἄξων axis (see axon n.) + -ία -ia suffix¹) + -o suffix + -phobia comb. form, after French amaxophobie (E. Doyen 1885, or earlier) and German Amaxophobie (1886 in a review of Doyen's paper, or earlier; mentioned in the source of quot. 1890).Etymologies in the source of quot. 1890 and in other sources of the period explicitly cite the Ionic Greek form (without discussion). If it had been based on the Attic form, the English word would be expected to be *hamaxophobia.
