(Noun) a person exhibiting extremely wild or violent behaviour; a person who is extremely enthusiastic about a particular activity or subject; (Adjective, informal) extremely wild, fast, or energetic; characteristic of a maniac.
Origin
From Late Latin maniacus (mad), from Latin mania, from Greek mania (madness). The word entered English in the 17th century in the clinical sense of one suffering from mania. The informal enthusiast sense — a football maniac, a work maniac — developed later through the same pattern of lightening that mania itself underwent.
