Etymology[edit]

Learned borrowing from Ancient Greek παράνοια (paránoia, “madness”), from παράνοος (paránoos, “demented”), from παρά (pará, “beyond, beside”) + νόος (nóos, “mind, spirit”).

Surface analysis is para- (“abnormal, beyond”) +‎ nous (“mind”) +‎ -ia (“(medical) condition”).

Pronunciation[edit]
