Are you maniacal?

‘HOOOO HAHHHAHAHHHAAAA HOHOO OO HOO’

Where does the word mania come from?

Mania Origin: 1595–1605; < Medieval Latin maniacus of, pertaining to madness. See mania, -ac

Ma·ni·ac 1. a raving or violently insane person; lunatic. 2. any intemperate or overly zealous or enthusiastic person: a maniac when it comes to details. adjective 3. maniacal.

 

When I think of the word maniacal, I think of some bad cartoon creature rubbing his hands together and laughing maniacally!  I’ve seen quite a few manic and psychotic people do just that!
