In the word "arachnophobia," the base is "arachn," which comes from the Greek word "arachne," meaning spider. The prefix is "arachno-," referring to Spiders or spider-like creatures. The suffix is "-phobia," which denotes an irrational fear. Thus, "arachnophobia" literally means an irrational fear of spiders.
