What Is A Control Freak?
A Definition
The Random House College Dictionary defines "control" as follows:
"to exercise restraint or direction over; dominate; command....To hold in check; curb." Its origin is the Latin "contra" meaning "against" and "rotula" (wheel), indicating movement.
So essentially - control means to move against.
The exact origin of freak is not known, but possibly can be traced back tothe old English "frician" which means "to dance".
To put this all together then, we could say that control freaks are those who "command the dance" or those who "move against the dance".
