Definition

Borrowed from Late Latin satyriasis, from Ancient Greek σατυρίασις (saturíasis).

Restless, vicious spoken, venting his strainings in a skyrocket burst of phrases upon the inanity and stupidity of his fellow creatures for which he seemed to possess an almost uncanny vision, he fled through these days like the victim of some spiritual satyriasis. — Erik Dorn, Ben Hecht
