2: an odd or fanciful or capricious idea; "the theatrical notion
of disguise is associated with disaster in his stories"; "he

giddiness, Norw. kvima to whisk or flutter about, to trifle,
Dan. vimse to skip, whisk, jump from one thing to another,
dial. Sw. hvimsa to be unsteady, dizzy, W. chwimio to move

Syn: Freak; caprice; whimsey; fancy.

Usage: {Whim}, {Freak}, {Caprice}. Freak denotes an
impulsive, inconsiderate change of mind, as by a child
or a lunatic. Whim is a mental eccentricity due to
peculiar processes or habits of thought. Caprice is
closely allied in meaning to freak, but implies more
definitely a quality of willfulness or wantonness.
[1913 Webster]


Whim \Whim\, v. i.
To be subject to, or indulge in, whims; to be whimsical,
giddy, or freakish. [R.] --Congreve.
