relating to theater or drama; exaggerated or overly dramatic in manner
from Greek 'theatrikos', from 'theatron' (theater), from 'theasthai' (to behold, see)
The Greeks gave us this word from their love of drama - 'theatron' literally meant 'a place for seeing.' When someone's being theatrical today, they're channeling those ancient Greek actors with their big, dramatic gestures!
