What does the "tessa" part mean?

What does the "tessa" part mean?

It's a Latin prefix for "woman" or "feminine", just to narrow it down for the interest of male heterosexuality. His love for women, you know.

Unless I'm wrong about it, I don't mind being corrected.

Well yes, but both "macro" and "philia" are Greek, so shouldn't it be "gyno" or some variant?

SailorDolly: Well, both "Tele-vision" and "ortho-dontic" are built from both Latin and Greek, so it doesn't really matter in English.

And Macrogynoclaustrophilia doesn't exactly roll off the tongue any better than Macrotessaclaustrophilia does.

Well, not that I recommend the OP change or anything, but "orthodontic" is wholly Greek. Greek odont- is similar to Latin dent- but not the same.

The "tele-" in "television" is indeed Greek, but he "vision" in "television" is a perfectly valid English word, attested in Middle English documents from long ago. You can't say the same about "tessa-" or "gyno-".

And the Latin equivalent of "gyno-" would be "femina-".

The More You Know....

I don't prefer young women, but I know what you mean! I'm a girl and one thing that makes me feel awkward about sharing this fetish is I am attracted to both male and female giant people and I think it's so HOT when they are confined into a room while they grow or even seeing someone too big for a room for whatever reason. It's just so unbelievably attractive. I know what you mean.

And I love the pictures on this thread. I'm saving pictures like mad.

Sweet! Some of these are great and one of 'em is mine! I never thought I'd see it posted elsewhere.

It's the one with the girl in the green shirt in the hotel room.

Cool.

Oh, that? That's a photomanipulation. Nice model, but you didn't have to photoshop it.
