batophobia

Noun

batophobia (uncountable)

1. The fear of high objects or of high objects falling down.
   • Batophobia, or fear that high things will fall, is not uncommon, and is matched by the perhaps still more common fear that one may fall off high places should one be perched on an altitude, or on the top of a bridge, or walking along cliffs.1912, Edwin Ash, Nerves and the Nervous, Brentano's, page 23
   • Batophobia is the specific fear of high objects, such as tall buildings. Batophobia may be related to acrophobia — the fear of high places, or to anablepophobia — the fear of looking up at high places.1995, Mir M. Ali, Paul J.
