The word logomaniac is “one who is obsessively interested in words”
First usage
Our word came into English in the mid-1800s
Background / Comments
I consider myself interested in words, but not “obsessively” interested in them… but maybe this blog may be proof that I am a logomaniac. Our word comes from two Greek words: logo- (word) and -mania (excessive enthusiasm; craze).
