→Etymology: You know, why not? |
Given that we already refer to the Byz. Grk παιδοφιλία, I don’t see what referring to the A. Grk παῖς + φιλέω adds, and I don’t think that this entry should be in Category:English terms derived from Ancient Greek. |

Usage note
- Many psychologists recommend against using the term pedophilia to denote sexual activities with children, because not all people with a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children (i.e., pedophilia) commit such acts, and child molesters often lack a strong sexual interest in prepubescent children.[2][3] Furthermore, psychological texts define pedophilia as a primary or exclusive attraction towards specifically prepubescent children;[4] primary or exclusive attraction towards pubescent children is known as hebephilia and towards post-pubescent adolescents ephebophilia. See Wikipedia for more information.
