=== Etymology ===
From ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/monomaniacal monomaniacal]'' (from ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mono- mono-]'' + ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/maniacal maniacal]'') + ''endophylonoia''.

The term ''endophylonoia'' is a compound word constructed from three Ancient Greek roots:
* '''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ἔνδον ἔνδον] (éndon)''': "inner, internal, within"
* '''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/φυλή φῡλή] (phūlḗ)''': "tribe, clan, race"
* '''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/νόος νόος] (nóos)''' / suffix '''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-noia -noia]''': "mind, thought, state of mind"

The linguistic construction mirrors established psychological and philosophical terms such as ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/paranoia paranoia]'' (disturbed mind) or ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/metanoia metanoia]'' (transformation of mind).

=== Pronunciation ===
* Katakana: モノマナイアカル・エンドウファイラノイア (''Monomanaiakaru endōfairanoia'')
* Hangul: 모노머나이어컬 엔도파이러노이어 (''Monomeonaieokeol endopaireonoieo'')

=== Noun ===
'''monomaniacal endophylonoia''' (''uncountable'')

# The condition wherein one holds an obsessive, completely insular mindset unique to a specific tribe, clan, or tightly knit social group.
# A pathological state of tribalism characterized by a singular fixation on the internal reality, customs, and beliefs of one's in-group, resulting in the cognitive inability to process, accept, or comprehend external information or perspectives.

==== Quotations ====
* '''2026''', ''Example context'':
*: "The remote commune's rejection of all modern medicine and outside communication wasn't just tradition; it was a textbook case of collective '''monomaniacal endophylonoia'''."
