The etymology is a bit vague , although 956; 945; 957; 953; 945; ( mania "madness" , "obsession") fits perfectly , 955; 959; 947; 959; 962; ( logos ) refers more to the "study, treatise, knowledge" of things and then to the discourse , to the word to convey the ideas; and in this mania only those who run believe that they know what they are talking about.
