Word Wealth etymology adventures

Guess what these words mean:
1. bisaaltiotic
2. bicuitemial
3. visuovalentudology
4. dextriskophobiogamyotic (hint: two O's are for ornamentation)

Answers:
1. pertaining to something not twice the height
2. blood that is cooked twice
3. The study of the ability to have seeing power (eyesight)
4. a little fear of the right marriage

I made these up, and almost forgot the definitions to 3 and 4, even needing Mrs. Sternthal, my British Literature teacher, to figure it out. It was amusing to crack.
