noun
1. An obsession with words.
Mine is a textbook case of logolepsy that began the first time I was told to look a word up in the dictionary. My logolepsy then found new hunting ground in church book sales and secondhand shops, where I could look up the same words in different books. Through logolepsy, I learned that the meanings of words develop and change over the years and can be very political. Dictionaries are censored for political correctness and to further national agendas. Does this make me a logoleptic conspiracy theorist?
Synonyms: lexophile, logophile, me.
