prettygoodwordproditomania (proh-dit-uh-MAY-nee-uh) - n., the irrational belief that everyone is out to get you.
Or more technically, that everyone is a traitor -- but specifically, a traitor to you. Coined in 1898 from Latin prodere, to betray + Greek mania. Another also rare word from the root is proditorious, traitorous/perfidious.
