Wondrous Words Wednesday-Nov. 4


Bermudaonion asks you to share new words that you have learned during your reading adventures in the last week. Feel free to join in the fun!

I found a new word this week while reading Made in the U.S.A. by Billie Letts, and the definition was actually included in the sentence:

Tonitrophobia-and here is how it was used on page 271:
The doctor who examined her had explained that tonitrophobia-fear of thunder-could, in extreme cases, cause seizures and, though extremely rare, could result in death.

I really enjoyed this book and I will be meeting with my book club this evening to discuss it.  I can tell you right now that you can expect a positive review from me on this one!

    My dog has tonitrophobia if she's outside during an electrical storm. Thanks for participating!

    I knew all this was possible. I just didn't know there was a name for it. Good word.

    Fantastic word! There are so many phobias and they all have their own word which always sound so interesting. I don't know any people with tonitrophobia but I have known several dogs with it, seriously!

    Great word, Jo-Jo
    Thanks!
