Multilanguecyfunophobia

Multilanguecyfunophobia (noun)
Pronunciation: mul-ti-lang-gwa-sie-FU-noh-FOH-bee-uh

Defenition:
The fear of, or aversion toward words formed from suffixes, prefixes, or root words originating from multiple different languages, cultures, or linguistic traditions.

Etymology:
Formed itself from a combination of linguistic roots: multi, Latin for “many”, langue, French for “language”, cyfuno, Welsh for “to combine” or “become one”, and phobia, or phobos, Greek for “fear”.
His discomfort with multi language terminology led to him claiming he suffered from multilanguecyfunophobia.
