pittakionophobia

Meanings

1. The abnormal and irrational fear of stickers, sticky labels and (sometimes, also) adhesive materials such as glue.

Etymology

Coined by hypnotherapist Peter Field in 2009. Field gives the word's formation as Ancient Greek πιττάκιον (pittákion, “*sticker”) + -o- + -phobia (used to form nouns meaning the fear of a specific thing), as a neoclassical compound. In reality, this Ancient Greek word does not mean sticker, but Latin pittacium does mean label.
