fantods (n.)

1835年，这个诙谐的词汇可能基于 fantasy。

There is an indescribable complaint, which will never allow a moment's repose to mind or body; which nothing will satisfy—which allows of no beginning, and no ending—which wheels round the mind like the squirrel in its cage, ever moving, but still making no progress. It is called the Fantods. From the diagnostics, we pronounce Lord Brougham incurably diseased with the Fantods. [The Metropolitan, London, October 1835]

有一种难以形容的病痛，它不会让身心得到片刻的安宁； 没有什么能够满足它，没有开始，也没有结束； 它像笼中的松鼠一样在脑海中打转，不断移动，但却毫无进展。它被称为 Fantods。根据诊断，我们判断布罗姆勋爵患有不治之症的 Fantods。[《大都会》杂志，伦敦，1835年10月]
