Nymphomaniacal means characterized by, pertaining to, affected with, or displaying nymphomania. Nymphomania is a psychological and sexual disorder of women characterized by excessive desire and impulses to engage in sexual activities and achieve sexual satisfaction. Nymphomaniacal comes from the Latin word "nympha" meaning "nymphae" (an area in the female's private area), and the Greek word "mania" meaning "frenzy." Put the two words together and you have "nymphae frenzy."
