Word-of-the-day Contest
 
There is very little response to contests at the moment. I think everyone is still digesting...
 
Nevertheless, I will give it a try:  here we are with a revival of the WOD contest.
Explain as skilfully as you can what the following word might mean:
 

threpterophilia

 
Please do not supply the real explanation and do not look it up in a dictionary. This is the only rule you should respect ;-)
I will wait until there is a number of entries and then choose a winner.
Have fun!
