Unhinged is an adjective that appeared in English by the 19th century to describe someone who is mentally unstable or unpredictable. The term comes from the literal image of a door coming off its hinges—something that no longer functions properly—applied metaphorically to a person whose behavior or reactions are erratic. Historically, it was derogatory, used to criticize or alarm about someone's mental state. Today it remains informal and critical, often used in casual, descriptive, or journalistic contexts rather than clinical or polite conversation.

The idiom "on edge" has its origins in the early 17th century. The term "edge" refers to the sharp or thin boundary of a surface, and when used figuratively, it conveys the idea of being in a state of heightened sensitivity or alertness.  It is commonly employed in both informal and formal settings to convey a sense of unease or tension. People may use this phrase to describe how they feel before a significant event, such as a job interview, public speaking engagement, or important performance. It is also used to express the general feeling of being on edge due to external factors like stressful situations, uncertain outcomes, or imminent threats.
