The "eros" which provides the ending of the word pederast is the Greek
word for love in its physical connotation, and is personified in the
Greek god of love Eros. The "philos" in p(a)edophile is a Greek word for
love in another sense, a different variety of the concept of love,
such as that conveyed in the word philosophy, the love of wisdom.
Many originally Greek origins found their way into English through
Latin, so that neologisms such as these may be described as "Modern
Latin". The equivalent English words of other derivations, such as
"love", tend to be more concise, and more all-embracing, so to speak!
