What It Is:
Pathological fear of motion
About the Word:
The root of this word is kinein, Greek for to move.
That same root gives us cinema(moving pictures), kinesthesia(muscle sense), and telekinesis(using mental powers to move objects).

Always good to be able to spot Greek, Latin or some such link…… 😉 HUgs!
Very useful and empowering to the working classes who get intimidated by language.xxxx
Very much so…..but then the ‘working classes’ have an instinctive bent for innovative picturesque language. 😉
I don’t think it’s instinctive!Maybe working in groups like dustmen and coal miners makes them invent their own new words!
