Word: araneophobia Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From araneo- + -phobia. Piecewise doublet of arachnophobia. 1. Synonym of arachnophobia. Labels: uncountable Example: To exasperation caused by this impotence in the past, we may ascribe at least some portion of man’s susceptibility to araneophobia in the present; but it is probably due, in the main, to the spider’s unprepossessing features, and to his possession of venomous fangs. Example: On the other hand, the subcategories pertinent to arachnid-produced phobias would only rarely lead to a definitive diagnosis of arachnophobia or the more specific scorpiophobia, araneophobia, or acarophobia.[…]This term, arachnophobia (fear of arachnids), has been used so often in connection with the disease condition of the Middle Ages known as “tarantism” that it has become synonymous with araneophobia (or araneidophobia). In technical reports, arachnophobia should only be used when there is assurance that the phobia is limited to all arachnids[…]. As with scorpions, these large-bodied arachnids [spiders] are spectacles of the media and currently exaggerated both as aesthetic trouble-free pets (“talk shows”) and as the central attraction in horror films. The wide distribution and overlap of habitat with animals must produce an acceleration of the number of cases of araneophobia.

Word: Kuei-chou Part of Speech: name Etymology: From the Wade–Giles romanization Kuei⁴-chou¹ of Mandarin 貴州 /贵州 (Guìzhōu). 1. Alternative form of Guizhou. Labels: alt-of, alternative Example: On the eastern mountain slopes of Nga-ba there is a meadow called Nga-ba tsi-mä gko, east of the trail leading to the hamlets of Nga-tz inhabited by Na-khi as well as Miao-tzu 苗子. The latter are immigrants from Kuei-chou. Example: In addition, he was banished to Lung-chʻang in modern Kuei-chou, which was then inhabited by the barbarian Miao tribes, to become an insignificant executive in a dispatch station, whose duty it was to provide horses for rapid transportation. He started the journey in the spring of 1507 and arrived a year later, stopping over on the way to visit his father. Liu's agents pursued him and he escaped assassination only by throwing his clothing away by the Chʻien-tʻang River near Hangchow, thus suggesting suicide. Some accounts, to make the event more dramatic, have him escape by sea from Hangchow to Fukien and thence to Kuei-chou. More reliable chronicles, however, have recorded his trip overland from Hangchow to Kuei-chou. In Kuei-chou he taught the Miao aboriginals to build houses and live in them.
