wood (adj.) Look up wood at Dictionary.com"violently insane" (now obsolete), from Old English wod "mad, frenzied," from Proto-Germanic *woda- (cognates: Gothic woþs "possessed, mad," Old High German wuot "mad, madness," German wut "rage, fury"), from PIE *wet- (1) "to blow; inspire, spiritually arouse;" source of Latin vates "seer, poet," Old Irish faith "poet;" "with a common element of mental excitement" [Buck]. Compare Old English woþ "sound, melody, song," Old Norse oðr "poetry," and the god-name Odin.
ومن هنا يتبين لنا أن Hollywood مقر السينما الغربية .. تأتي بمعنى الخشبة المقدسة (ولا شك أنها عصا الساحر الذي يسحر أعين الناس بأفلامه)
