    Isn’t Pedrophilia an abnormality and Pedrophile is a person with the affliction?

    Yes, you’re correct! Occasionally the form of the word and the definition is a bit off.

    Pedrophilia would be the tendency towards or abnormal liking of Pedro.

    Pedrophile would be the person with that tendency.

    I was tempted to revise/correct the post, but then the comments will not make sense — I’ll leave the original post intact.

    Thanks for reading & commenting!

    As I too mangle the English language, it is fun to read your dougtionary. Thanks for the laughs.

    I found stone tool fossils in Mexico. I think they are of the Pedrolithic period.
