Etymology
Rabidity comes from the Latin rabidus, which means 'mad' or 'raging', and is the same root as the English rabid and the word rabies for the disease that can make animals act 'wild'. So, rabidity describes a very extreme or fanatical kind of enthusiasm, almost like being driven 'mad' with excitement.
