Etymology
The word 'frenzy' originated from the Middle French word 'frénésie', which means 'madness' or 'frenzy'. It is derived from the Latin term 'phrēnēsis', which refers to a state of mental disorder or delusion. The word has evolved over centuries, maintaining its association with extreme or uncontrolled excitement. The earliest forms of the word appeared in English around the late 14th century, reflecting the tumultuous emotions and chaotic states associated with the term. 'Frenzy' has been often used in literature and psychological contexts to describe unrestrained, wild behavior, often linked to intense feelings or external pressures.
