if you split the word.....
Amor has several meanings:
Amor - Spanish and Portuguese for love.
Amor ("love") was also an alternate name for Cupid, the Roman god of love. He was equivalent to Eros in Greek mythology
==============================
phobia (from the Greek φόβος "fear"), is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the anxiety disorders can be made
================================
therefore............ putting the two together--------- its an irrationaly fear of love.... being in love... or showing love... anything with respect to love!

AGORAPHOBIA ?
The term agoraphobia has been widely misunderstood. Its literal definition suggests a fear of "open spaces". However, this is an incomplete and misleading view. Agoraphobics are not necessarily afraid of open spaces. Rather, they are afraid of having panicky feelings, wherever. these fearful feelings may occur. For many, they happen at home, in houses of worship, or in crowded supermarkets, places that are certainly not "open".
In fact, agoraphobia is a condition which develops when a person begins to avoid spaces or situations associated with anxiety. Typical "phobic situations" might include driving, shopping, crowded places, traveling, standing in line, being alone, meetings and social gatherings.
Agoraphobia arises; from an internal anxiety condition that has become so intense that the suffering individual fears going anywhere or doing anything where these feelings of panic have repeatedly occurred before. Once the panic attacks have started, these episodes become the ongoing stress, even when other more obvious pressures have diminished. This sets up a "feedback condition" which generally leads to increased numbers of panic attacks and, for some people, an increase in the situations or events which can produce panicky feelings. Others experience fearful feelings continuously, more a feeling of overall. discomfort, rather than panic.
A person may fear having anxiety attacks, "losing control", or embarrassing him/herself in such situations. Many people remain in a painful state of anxious anticipation because of these fears. Some become restricted or "housebound" while others function "normally" but with great difficulty, often attempting to hide their discomfort.
Agoraphobia, then, is both a severe anxiety condition and a phobia, as well as a pattern of avoidant behavior.

No such thing. There is:
Agoraphobia which is a fear of open spaces and
Amathophobia which is a fear of dust
There is a song named Amorophobia, but there is no real phobia of that name

phobia means 'fear of'
Amor means 'love'
so 'fear of love'
I'd guess this usually happens to people right after their first major relationship. THen they just wanna die or are afraid to go back into society for fear of falling in love again and suffering all over.

It is a coined term, acceptable in usage to mean fear of advances on account of love, fear of the ******, fear of romance. A severe condition of reserved "aloof" nature!
