Carmelo Anthony teaches Knicks fans a new vocabulary word: Nyctophilia

Welcome back to another episode of “Words with Melo,” the show where we break down Carmelo Anthony’s social media posts on the basis of new vocabulary introduced. The word of the day is “nyctophilia”:

The word comes from the Greek — “Nycto” being the Latinized form of the Greek “nykto”, meaning “night”, and “philia”, meaning “to love.” Now, if you go to urbandictionary.com, you will get this definition:

The love of darkness or night, or feeling like you belong in the dark. Usually applies to those who often feel sadness!
