According to my husband, arenaphobia is the fear of sand. I’ve heard him use it many times over the years and never questioned it. Something in me decided to question it this week. He said it came from the Spanish word for sand, arena, plus phobia. I was dubious so I turned to my dictionary app. Nothing. It seems arenaphobia is not a word in the dictionary. I actually couldn’t find a credible source online for a word for fear of sand.
No matter because I don’t actually have a fear of sand.
