a phobia or fear of hats or headgear, perhaps what is under them, or of wearing them.

the opposite of this would be the love or fetish of hats kapelophile which likely stems from the french words chapeau, chapeaux, chapeaus, capel or chapel which originate from the latin word cappellum “hood, hat”, the diminutive of cappa “hooded cloak”, which is also where cap pulls it’s original meaning from.
