Where it comes from

From paranoia + -ac.

adjective more paranoiac · most paranoiac · paranœac · paranoic

  1. Pertaining to, or exhibiting, paranoia. Calm yourselves. The hysteria and opulent paranoiac fantasies that have spread over GCN’s pages in the wake of the general election constitute a reaction both shortsighted and silly.

noun paranoiacs · paranœac · paranoic

  1. Somebody who has paranoia, a paranoid person. "Prove to me that I'm wrong when I say you are all just like person X from your group!" This is the cry of the bigot, the paranoiac, the pigeonholer, the witchhunter. Why need we prove what is self-evident?
