Status: offline 		I don't understand what you mean.  It's a word, but, as I said, it's a barbarism.  Barbarisms are words constructed of roots from different languages.  The first part of the word is Latin, the second part Greek.  Most mania words are entirely Greek.  This one was invented by some doctor or psychologist who didn't know how to say "wash" in Greek.

[oh fine!  It's when you say what you have on your mind in lieu of what you meant to say!  gah!  toy with my anal retentiveness, will you...]

oblique, anyone?  And if you want to argue that it's French, you can define ventricular instead...
