manic

adj. Psychiatry
Relating to, affected by, or resembling mania.

[Greek manikos, mad, from maniā, madness. See mania.]

IN BRIEF: adj. - Affected with or marked by frenzy uncontrolled by reason.

Tutor's tip: Anything made from "manioc," (a starchy root used in making tapioca) made the "maniac" (a mad person) even more "manic" (relating to high excitement and craze).
