Origin

Late Middle English frentik, 'insane, violently mad', from Old French frenetique (see frenetic).

frenetic from Late Middle English:
This comes via French and Latin from Greek phrenitikos, from phrenitis ‘delirium’, and was initially used to mean ‘insane’. Originally frantic (Late Middle English) was merely an alternative form of the word. Frenzy (Middle English) is from the same root.
