  1. A mania for freedom; excessive zeal for freedom. [Rare.] Our Peers have, in too many cases, laid aside their frogs, laces, bagwigs; and go about in English costume, or ride rising in their stirrups, in the most headlong manner; nothing but insubordination, eleutheromania, confused unlimited opposition in their heads. Carlyle, French Rev., I. iii., 4.
