Etymology
Pedophilia comes from Greek roots pais meaning 'child' and philia meaning 'love'. The philia part is the same root as in philosophy ('love of wisdom'), so pedophilia literally means 'child-love' and today it is used to describe an adult's sexual attraction to children and is considered a mental disorder.
