Literally, someone who "fears" the "new". In other words, a person who views change (in the things affecting their own life) as broadly a bad thing, to be avoided. Contrast with NeoPhile.

Of course, nobody is 100% one way or the other, and people may well be NeoPhilic? in one aspect of their life while NeoPhobic?? in others. But the general concept can be useful.
