frenesieとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Borrowed from Old French frenesie, from Medieval Latin phrenesia, modification of Latin phrenēsis. Compare frenetik.

For pronunciations of this word with /a/, compare Old French franaisie, variant of frenesie; the MED's belief that such pronunciations are influenced by fantasie is unnecessary.
