Who discovered arachnophobia?

Answer 1

Arachnophobia, the intense fear of Spiders, was not "discovered" by a single individual, as it is a common phobia that has likely existed throughout human history. The term itself was coined in the early 20th century, derived from the Greek words "arachne" (spider) and "phobos" (fear). It has been studied by psychologists and researchers who explore its causes, effects, and treatment, but no one person can be credited with its discovery.
