I learned a lovely new word today. It's the word for that field of study I was already familiar with but did not have a proper name for- that grey area where parapsychology and cryptozoology overlap.

But... Google's AI overview is confusing me. I wanted to know if Para-cryptozoology was more accepted as a way to write it or Paracryptozoology.

So I googled...

It said Paracryptozoology is the more accepted term.

Okay.

And just to be thorough I googled again but this time replaced Paracryptozoology with Paracryptozoologist.

This time it said the more accepted spelling is with the hyphen. Para-Cryptozoologist. So which is it?

Is it "Paracryptozoology" but when it's "ist' it's "Para-cryptozoologist?" And if so, why?
