Etymology
The word 'crazed' comes from the verb 'craze,' which originates from the Old English 'crāse,' meaning to crack or break. Over time, the meaning transformed to describe a state of mental instability, as if the mind has been fractured or broken. The suffix '-ed' indicates a past participle, suggesting a state that has been reached. The use of 'crazed' in literature and common speech has evolved, often highlighting extremes of emotion or behavior. In modern usage, it conveys not only mental turmoil but also a certain unpredictability in actions, associated with various forms of hysteria or obsession.
