Simple cure for any illogical fears of Hillary... Stop watching the lies on Fox. Much more sensible to worry about Trump inciting WWIII and cratering the economy. Experts have warned of those. Not like the Chicken Littles and rabid haters at Fox.

Generally, the roots for fears or phobias are Greek, not Latin.
The fear of confrontation has too broad a range and it is better to form a word more specific. That is, a fear of confronting something in particular.
If you consider the "fear of conflict," you could be describing other fears such as:
Allodoxaphobia - The fear of opinions.
Angrophobia - The fear of anger or becoming angered.
Rhabdophobia - The fear or being severely punished or severely criticized.
So as you can see, just the "fear of confrontation" is thematically incomplete and far too general to be useful.

Shomin, I know exactly what I am saying. I suppose you think George Dumbya did a great job. Other than letting down our guard that led to 9/11, lying us into Iraq and crashing the great Clinton economy, Dumbya was mediocre. Now what is your complaint about Obama?

David King, this letter from the FBI totally exonerates Hillary. And it was written because the rightwads in Congress wanted more info.

I didn't know the answer but got it right by thinking that 'cacophony' could be described as 'ugly sound'.

Suzy Fiscus, Latin word for fear is TIMOR, hence the English words timorous, timid.

John Merrick, people feared him for no reason. So I guess anyone who thinks they are perfect beings suffer this phobia.

this is the first I have this question dating back 3 years ago, as noted with the responses. Curious: there are multiple comments from several people, e.g. Ben and Dan - how do you add multiple comments besides sitting there with this same question open all day? Are your lives so empty that you need to argue politics on a trivia site? I'll probably never see a response, but hey...

Dan Stevenson unfortunately that is the problem with all Obama/Hilary supporters. Little knowledge of even lesser things.

Ben Totuous allways so far left. You should go and live abroad, before Donald put you right in front of the line of fire when WWlll starts. I am South African and believe me, I would give my left nut to be able to live in an America with Trump as my president.
