Where it comes from

From Latin claustrum (“a shut-in place”), from claudō (“to shut, close; to imprison, confine”) + -phobe.

noun claustrophobes

One who suffers from claustrophobia. She has never considered herself either a claustrophobe or an agoraphobe but, well, this was different. This was both fears together – the fear of wide-open spaces jammed shoulder to shoulder with angry people.
