Origin:
The word "frenetic" first appeared in English in the 16th century, derived from the Latin word "freneticus." The Latin term, in turn, originates from the Greek word "phrenetikos," which refers to a condition of the mind characterized by frenzy, madness, or delirium.
The Greek word "phrenetikos" itself is derived from "phren," which means "mind" or "intellect." The suffix "-ikos" indicates an adjective derived from a noun, suggesting that "phrenetikos" describes something related to the mind.
The original sense of "frenetic" was "mad" or "raving," which gradually evolved into its modern meaning of "wildly excited or agitated." The term is often used to describe a state of intense activity, excitement, or anxiety that is difficult to control.
