(noun) The joy of listening to the sound of rain on a roof. From the Greek roots 'στέγη' (stegi), meaning 'roof;' 'βροχή' (vrochi), meaning 'rain;' and '-philia,' a love of or a fondness for.
Aesyle gathered her mug of steaming cocoa, her knitted woolen blanket, her favourite book of botanical prints, and snuggled into her warm bed to indulge her stegivrochophilia – reveling in the joy of listening to the rain pattering on the slate roof sheltering her from the blustering storm outside.
