Onychotillomania is a tendency to pick at the fingernails or toenails in layers. Onychotillomania comes from the Greek word "onyx" meaning "nail," the Greek word "tillos" meaning "to pluck," and the Greek word "mania" meaning "insanity." Put the words together and you have "to pluck nail insanity."
