Wørd of the week – schizothemia

Sunday, November 26th, 2006

After a bit of a break, Wørd of the week returns, with a word that could have been crafted just for me:

Schizothemia

from. Gk schizo-, from schizein, to split + thema, theme]

A digression by means of a long reminiscence;
repeated interruptions of a conversation by the speaker
introducing other topics.

(not to be confused with schizothymia)
