English

Etymology

An illustration showing a dog in a late stage of hydrophobia (sense 1) or rabies[1]

From Middle English idroforbia (hydrophobia), from Latin hydrophobia, from Ancient Greek ὑδροφοβία (hudrophobía),[2] from υδρο- (udro-, prefix meaning ‘water’) (from ῠ̔́δωρ (húdōr, water), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wed- (water)) + φοβία (phobía, phobia). The word is analysable as hydro- +‎ -phobia.

Pronunciation

Noun

hydrophobia (countable and uncountable, plural hydrophobias)

  1. (pathology) An aversion to water, as a symptom of rabies; the disease of rabies itself.
  2. (psychology, colloquial) A morbid fear of water; aquaphobia.

Usage notes

A morbid fear of water is technically called aquaphobia, so not to be confused with rabies.
