Theme week: lovers.


nyctophile (NIK-tuh-fayl) - n., one who loves or prefers nighttime or darkness.


Those who love the night (which sounds like an epithet for vampires but never mind). Coined from Greek roots nyktos, night + philia, fondness/preference -- which last root we'll be seeing all week.
