Definitions and meaning of hysteria

hysteria

Etymology

From New Latin hysteria, a back-formation from Latin hystericus, from Ancient Greek ὑστερικός (husterikós, “suffering in the uterus, hysterical”), from ὑστέρα (hustéra, “womb”). Compare French hystérie.

Pronunciation

  • (General American) IPA(key): /hɪˈstɛɹiə/, /hɪˈstɪɹiə/
  • Rhymes: -ɪəɹiə

Noun

hysteria (usually uncountable, plural hysterias or hysteriae or hysteriæ)

  1. Behavior exhibiting excessive or uncontrollable emotions, in a wide range from joy to panic but usually including anxiety or fear.
  2. (medicine, nosologically dated) A mental disorder characterized by emotional excitability etc. without an organic cause.
  3. (informal, psychopathology) Synonym of conversion disorder
  4. (psychiatry, until early 20th century, now historical) Any disorder of women with some psychiatric symptoms without other diagnosis, ascribed to uterine influences on the female body, lack of pregnancy, or lack of sex.

Usage notes

  • Some usage advisers recommend caution with the terms hysteria and hysterical, because the medical and psychiatric senses of the terms over the centuries have been inextricably bound up with bias via stereotypes about gender; in medicine, the words are no longer nosologically current. Some advisers recommend avoiding these words even in the broadest sense that is arguably gender-neutral (i.e., denoting excessive or uncontrollable emotions, from joy to panic, as in hysterical crowds of sports fans). The usage and its cultural underpinnings are discussed at Wikipedia > Hysteria.

Synonyms

  • (obsolete female disorder): uterine melancholy
