- oriettaxx 6y agoweird enough: the term "lunatic" comes from "luna" (which is the Latin for "moon"). In Italian, been a "lunatico" (lunatic) is less bad then "crazy", meaning somebody who changes his characters depending on moon's phases. Btw: Pirandello wrote a very good novel called "Mal di luna" ("Moonsickness"), it is included in a good movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaos_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaos_(film)
