Yesterday’s word
The word arctophile is “someone who is very fond of teddy bears or collects them”
First usage
This word showed up in the 1970s
Background / Comments
The word is from Greek. I recognized the -phile (lover) part. The other part is from arctos (bear)… not (as I first thought) “arctic”.
