well, since the roots 'gyn' and 'phobia' are greek, i would assume that 'cali' is also greek and from my deductive reasoning, caligraphy, i belive, is 'beautiful writing' when literally translated [cali- beautiful graph-write]so, to me, the root 'cali' means beautiful. hope that helps. caligynephobia must mean fear of beautiful women.

Further calista info: Derived from Greek kallistos meaning "most beautiful". In Greek mythology Kallisto was a nymph who was loved by Zeus. She was changed into a she-bear by Hera, and subsequently became the Great Bear constellation. This was also an ancient Greek personal name. care of: http://www.behindthename.com/php/view.php?name=kallisto
