Why this word is great
APOROPHOBIA — [Noun] The fear of poverty or poor people; antipathy toward them both. From Spanish aporofobia, from Ancient Greek ἄπορος (áporos, "indigent, poor") + -phobia ("fear"), coined by Adela Cortina in the 1990s by analogy with xenophobia. Unlike "xenophobia" (which fixates on foreignness) or "classism" (which generalizes across social strata), aporophobia is the visceral recoil from destitution itself—the flinch at a beggar’s outstretched hand, the tightened grip on a purse when passing a frayed coat, the zoning laws that push shelters to the edges of town. It is the quiet terror of falling, and the louder disgust for those already on the ground, revealing a poverty not of means but of spirit.
