rhinotillexomania

From rhino- (“nose, nasal”) +‎ Latin tillexis (“habit of plucking”, see below) +‎ -o- +‎ -mania (“obsession”). The tillexis stem is seemingly a New Latin borrowing from Ancient Greek τίλλω (tíllō, “I pluck or pull”). There is a divergence regarding the exo affix. It is suggested it may derive from ἔξω (éxō, “out”) or έξη (éxē, “habit”).
