what is the latin term for knife collecting?
358094
Most English terms for collectors of things are derived from the Greek rather than the Latin (like numismatist / coin collector from the Greek word for coin, νόμισμα). \n\nTherefore, I suggest machairitism, from the Greek word for knife, which is μαχαίρι.  A collector could be called a machairitist.\n\nJust a thought!

The Western line includes such pieces as their brawny Bowie knife, Kraton handled fillet knives, and a full line of leather handled fixed blade hunters.\n\nIn 1991, Western Knives was acquired by Camillus Cutlery Company.

If you are seeking the Ancient Greek word, you can use "kore".\nThere is also "pelinoi" meaning "clay figures".\nAlternatively "paignion" meaning "plaything".\n\nThe answer quoted from wordlingo "marioneta" will be Modern Greek.

A regular, one-sided blade, like on a basic pocket knife?  No.\n\nFor the most part, a knife is only a problem when it is concealed *and* it is a dirk or dagger (basically, this is a double-edged knife).  However, depending on why that steak knife is in your back pocket and covered with your shirt, you might well find yourself in trouble.  \n\nThere is no one single answer I think is safe to give you because of the several different laws on the subject, the bzillions of different kinds of knives, and the different places you might want to take it.  \n\nIf you have a particular kind of knife you're asking about, post that information and I can probably help narrow this down for you.

Encyclopedias. The term is not Latin, but actually comes from the Greek εγκύκλιος παιδεία (enkuklios paideia), literally "in a circle of instruction"\n\n--------------------------\n\nHere's a fuller definition of the term for you if you're interested, and also for the benefit of user Old Lady below (since she/he doesn't allow email contact): \n\nThe word comes from the Classical Greek ἐγκύκλιος παιδεία (pron. enkyklos paideia), literally 'the things of boys/child in a circle', meaning "a general knowledge." Though the notion of a compendium of knowledge dates back thousands of years, the term was first used in the title of a book in 1541 by Joachimus Fortius Ringelbergius in the title page of his Lucubrationes vel potius absolutissima kyklopaideia (Basel, 1541). It was first used as a noun by the encyclopedist Pavao Skalic in the title of his book Encyclopaedia seu orbis disciplinarum tam sacrarum quam prophanarum epistemon ("Encyclopaedia, or Knowledge of the World of Disciplines") (Basel, 1559).

The two words have nothing to do with each other.  Fascination comes almost directly from the Latin fascinare, to fascinate. \n\nFascism comes from the Italian fascio, which is a bundle (of sticks) or group–the notion being that the group is stronger than the individual. Fascio derives from the popular Latin fascium (Latin fascis), meaning bundle. Fasces (the plural of fascis) in Latin were "a bundle of rods bound up with an axe in the middle and its blade projecting. These rods were carried by lictors before the superior magistrates at Rome as an emblem of their power." (Oxford English Dictionary)

A nice clever question that, to my knowledge, lacks a specific answer ;-)  However, one could always use the Latin word "thesaurum" meaning "treasure" -- that is where the word "thesaurus" comes from.  So I'd vote for "thesaurum." :-)

cool idea, but how do we differentiate between what is and isn't a weapon?  are kitchen knives weapons?  i don't think so, but they're used in more than a few murders per year.  same goes with many other things, on down to a rock.
