Delirare

 

The term delirium comes from the Latin word “delirare”, meaning “to go off the furrow or go out of the track.”

 
It was first used in medicine by the Roman physician Aulus Cornelius Celsus (1st century AD) in his medical work De Medicina, where he described acute mental disturbance occurring during fever or illness.
