sự điên rồ

/ˈkreɪzinəs//ˈkreɪzinəs/

The word "craziness" has its roots in Middle English, dating back to the 15th century. It comes from the Old French phrase "crasiness", which was derived from "cras", meaning "mad" or "frenzied". The term was likely borrowed from the Latin "crastus", meaning "whence comes" or "madness". In Middle English, the word "craziness" originally referred to intense mental fervor, passion, or excitement. Over time, its meaning shifted to describe behavior or actions that were deemed bizarre, erratic, or unreasonable. Today, the word is commonly used to describe something or someone that is absurd, chaotic, or utterly foolish. Interestingly, the word "craziness" has taken on various connotations over the centuries, ranging from a neutral description of intense emotions to a more pejorative assessment of someone's behavior. Despite its complexities, the word remains a colorful and engaging term in our linguistic toolkit!
