Word origin

The term 'pyro' is shortened from 'pyromaniac,' which originates from the Greek words 'pyr' meaning fire and 'mania' meaning madness. The concept of pyromania as a mental disorder was first recognized in the 19th century, describing individuals with an irresistible impulse to set fires.
