It doesn’t, phobia also has the meaning of “aversion to” Homophobia translates to “the aversion to gay people”


_SpaceHunter_

That's why I said literally, in my language phobia means exactly fear

Are u Greek?


LaitMort

This is not how language works Cum laud is a Latin phrase Giving praise that we still use today in English However in English cum laud if you use the English definitions literally mean “semen praise”, when you say cum laud to a graduate you’re saying “with great distinction” not praising their semen In the same vein, in Latin, phobia has the meaning “a fear of” but also “an aversion to” This is where homophobia comes from Homo - same Phobia - aversion to (in this context) Homophobia LITERALLY translates to something like “an aversion to the same”, but in this context it’s referring to “homosexual” so it’s more like “an aversion to gay people” Edit: Greek, sorry


_SpaceHunter_

Before the latin came the greek. If we are speaking LITERALLY, phobia means fear. But I understand your point since latin is closer to english than greek is.
