Arachnophobia is one of the most common phobias, and it means the fear of spiders. For some people, even the tiniest spider can cause panic, racing hearts, or a quick dash out of the room. The word comes from the Greek ‘arachne,’ meaning spider, and ‘phobia,’ meaning fear. While spiders are usually harmless, those with arachnophobia feel genuine terror. So if you see someone jump at the sight of a spider, don’t laugh — they might just have arachnophobia!
