by Tommy Jasmin Excessive enthusiasm So what exactly is Nostomania anyway? A friend of mine was surprised to see the word turn up on his Word-of-the-day email subscription, where he learned: nostomania (nos-tuh-MAY-nee-uh, -mayn-yuh) noun An overwhelming desire to return home or to go back to familiar places. [From Greek nostos (a return home) + mania (excessive enthusiasm or madness).] You can consider nostomania to be an extreme form of nostalgia (literally, pain for home).
