hysterian.

Brit.

/hᵻˈstɪərɪə/, U.S.

/həˈstɛriə/,

/həˈstɪriə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin hysteria.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin hysteria (1696 or earlier), formed as abstract noun to hystericus hysteric adj.; compare -ia suffix¹.Compare French hystérie disease, syndrome affecting women (1728), extreme excitement or agitation (1834), Italian isteria (1788), German Hysterie (1776). Hysteria was originally thought to be due to a disturbance of the uterus and its functions; compare hysteric n. and adj. and the German term Mutterweh.

1. Medicine. Originally: a (supposed) physical disorder of women attributed to displacement or dysfunction of the uterus, and characterized particularly by a sensation of fullness in the abdomen and chest, with choking or breathlessness (= hysterical passion n. at hysterical adj. and n. Compounds) (now historical); (later also) a (supposed) disorder with similar symptoms affecting men (now historical). In later use: a disorder characterized by neurological symptoms (such as an inability to perform voluntary movements, loss of vision or hearing, seizure-like episodes, etc.), often accompanied by exaggeratedly or inappropriately emotional behaviour, originally attributed to disease or injury of the nervous system and later thought to be functional or psychogenic in origin.In recent classifications of diseases the names conversion disorder or functional neurological symptom disorder are preferred to hysteria.The disorder attributed to the uterus was known earlier in English by names including rising of the mother, suffocation of the mother, and hysteric passion or hysterical passion.Arctic hysteria, conversion hysteria, mass hysteria, etc.: see the first element.
