Forms: Middle English maniam, Middle English– mania.
Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin mania.
Etymology: < post-classical Latin mania mental disorder (5th cent.) < ancient Greek μανία madness, inspired frenzy. Compare French manie (see manie n.), Italian mania (14th cent.), Spanish mania (1492), Portuguese mania (16th cent.).Ancient Greek μανία is < the base of μαίνεσθαι to rage, be furious, be in a frenzy, be inspired (compare maenad n.). The further etymology is uncertain: it is usually referred ultimately to the Indo-European base of mind n.1 (compare Sanskrit man- to think). However, for an alternative etymology see P. Considine in Trans. Philol. Soc. (1985) 144–70. In form maniam after Latin accusative singular.
