histérico
/isˈteɾiko/ · B2 · adj
hysterical (of, or arising from hysteria)
😱 histérico = hysterical; from Greek hystera (womb), once blamed for the condition
Spanish histérico shares its root with English hysterical. Both come from Greek hystera, meaning womb, because ancient doctors wrongly linked extreme emotional outbursts to it. Hear is-TEH-ree-ko and think hysteric.
