Wordology, Lunatic

Next week, we change the balance from more moon and less sun to more sun and less moon. Lunatic literally means ‘moon-sick’ in Old English - or ‘affected with periodic insanity, dependent on the changes of the moon’. It stems from the Old French ‘lunatique’. Maybe more sun is why we feel better in the spring.
