I’ve read that the word Lunatic comes from the word for Luna, the moon.

Yes, and also lunacy.

BTW the word sinister comes from the Latin word for left handed.

Obama is left handed.

Thanks for the link!!!

Saw this at the site.

“Earlier it was a term for a type of hairstyle worn over the forehead (1877).”

Do not know to whom it would apply? :)

Link again http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=lunatic

Take care.........pilgrim
