The term "lunatic" historically referred to a person who was considered insane or mentally ill, often linked to the phases of the moon, as it was believed that lunar cycles could influence behavior. Today, it is generally regarded as an outdated and offensive term, with more respectful language used to describe mental health issues. In modern contexts, it might also be used informally to describe someone acting wildly or irrationally.
