ETYMOLOGY
from batracho- (comb. form) [from Greek βάτραχος (bátrakhos, frog)] + ‑phobia
EXAMPLE
“…The world looks down upon them, gives them ill names, affects a sort of horror of them, and does its best to kick them out of sight; and the consequence is that the world knows next to nothing about them, and thus misses one of the most marvellous chapters in the whole range of zoological science. The Batrachophobia is at length giving way in one direction, it is true; for the Aquarium, has made it manifest that the Water-Newts, spite of a long-cherished belief to the contrary, are perfectly harmless little creatures…”
