一时的兴致,幻想,反复无常,怪念头

whim
n 1: a sudden desire; "he bought it on an impulse" [synonym:
{caprice}, {impulse}, {whim}]
2: an odd or fanciful or capricious idea; "the theatrical notion
of disguise is associated with disaster in his stories"; "he
had a whimsy about flying to the moon"; "whimsy can be
humorous to someone with time to enjoy it" [synonym: {notion},
{whim}, {whimsy}, {whimsey}]

Whim \Whim\, n. [Cf. {Whimbrel}.] (Zool.)
The European widgeon. [Prov. Eng.]
[1913 Webster]


Whim \Whim\, n. [Cf. Icel. hwima to wander with the eyes, vim
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
briskly.]
[1913 Webster]
1. A sudden turn or start of the mind; a temporary
eccentricity; a freak; a fancy; a capricious notion; a
humor; a caprice.
[1913 Webster]

[1913 Webster]

2. (Mining) A large capstan or vertical drum turned by horse
power or steam power, for raising ore or water, etc., from
mines, or for other purposes; -- called also {whim gin},
and {whimsey}.
[1913 Webster]

{Whim gin} (Mining), a whim. See {Whim}, 2.

etc., is raised from a mine by means of a whim.
[1913 Webster]

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.

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