Explanation

Acrophobia comes from Greek 'akron' (summit or peak) and describes an extreme or irrational fear of heights. This can range from mild anxiety when climbing ladders to severe panic on high floors or bridges. Vertigo is often associated but is technically a spinning sensation rather than a fear.
