Definition
A fit of rage, frustration, or hysterical crying; an outburst of emotion or wild behavior.
Etymology
Origin obscure; possibly from Scots dialect, though the exact source is debated. It emerged in American English by the 1830s-1840s and may derive from words meaning 'twist' or 'convulsion,' matching the physical nature of the fit.
Kelly Says
Nobody knows exactly where 'conniption' came from, which makes it one of English's most delightfully mysterious words—scholars can't even agree if it's Scots, Dutch, or just pure American invention! It perfectly captures emotional chaos.
