Word of the Day for Friday September 29, 2006

2. Excessive concentration of interest upon one particular subject or idea.
He was . . . a rather impossible person -- self-absorbed to the point of monomania (when lesser beings presumed to take part in his monologues, he would say "Quite" and then continue along his solitary path).-- Thomas M. Disch, "Later Auden", Washington Post, July 4, 1999
Monomania is derived from the Greek elements mono-, "one, single, alone" + mania, "madness, frenzy, enthusiasm."
