The term "pedophilia" comes from Ancient Greek, where "pedo" was derived from the word ''παῖς'', meaning "child," and "phile" was derived from the word ''φῐλέω'', meaning "I love."

	According to Kenneth Dover, a British classical scholar and academic, Ancient Greek poets replaced a more habitual word ''paiderastēs'' with ''paidophilēs'' to fit the verse as early as 6th century BC<ref>[https://tajakramberger.files.wordpress.com/2013/11/k-_j-_dover_greek_homosexuality_updated_and_witbookfi-org.pdf K.

	In response to the stigma, some people and organizations who work with pedophiles professionally have switched to the so-called "person first" language and started replacing "pedophiles" in their texts for "people with pedophilia" and "people with pedophilic interests". Meanwhile many pedophilic members of the map community actually prefer the "pedophile" identity even if they have other chronophilias. An idea to replace "pedophilia" as an identity with "childlove" did exist in 2000s<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20051101165116/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childlove_movement Childlove movement on Wikipedia], via the Wayback Machine.</ref>, but eventually died out.

			In the end of 2023 - beginning of 2024 a survey was conducted on [[Map fediverse \| map fediverse]] to determine the attitude to the label "pedophile". 73% of maps who fit the definition of pedophilia had a positive attitude towards this label, while 23% were neutral and 4% were negative. Among maps who do not fit the definition of pedophilia these numbers were 42%, 45%, and 12% accordingly.

== Pedophilia as an identity ==
Pedophilia is the most visible minor attraction and also the most stigmatized one. Hypervisibility of pedophilia, together with a conflation between attraction and action, results in the majority of specifically verbal [[mapmisia]] targeting pedophiles. This happens in casual conversations about mapness or CSA, as well as in news articles on these topics.

=== Other examples of verbal pedomisia ===

Meanwhile many pedophilic members of the map community actually prefer the "pedophile" identity even if they have other chronophilias.
== Misconceptions ==

=== Equation with other minor attractions ===

The term "pedophilia" is often incorrectly used as an umbrella term to mean anyone who has an
attraction to children or teenagers, regardless of age. The correct umbrella term is "Minor Attracted Person" ([[MAP]]). An attraction to teenagers is not pedophilia, but [[hebephilia]] or [[ephebophilia]].

=== Equation with CSA ===

The term "pedophile" is used colloquially to mean someone who is a perpetrator of Child Sexual
Abuse (CSA), regardless of whether this person has an attraction to prepubescent children. Most people who have offended against children do not have a preferential attraction to prepubescent children, and thus are not pedophiles<ref>[https://www.b4uact.org/know-the-facts/behavior/ Behavior], B4U-ACT.</ref>.

=== Medicalization ===

Pedophilia is sometimes conflated with pedophilic disorder. Pedophilia itself is not a psychiatric
disorder. To become diagnosed with pedophilic disorder, the person in question must have
significant distress about their attractions or must have acted on their attractions<ref>[https://www.docdroid.net/qSmIApN/dsm20v-pdf#page=729 Pedophilic disorder, diagnostic criteria], DSM-5</ref>.
