adjective Pronunciation: /ˌklɛptəˈmænɪk/ Definition: Inclined to steal or slightly prone to petty theft, especially in a habitual or opportunistic way, without necessarily having the medical condition of kleptomania. Resembling or characteristic of a thief; thievish. Etymology: Formed in English by analogy with kleptomania and kleptomanic (rare), combining klepto- (Greek kleptein, “to steal”) + -manic (suggesting an obsessive tendency). Usage notes: Distinct from kleptomaniac, which refers to a person with the recognized psychological disorder kleptomania. Often used informally or descriptively, similar in sense to thievish or light-fingered. Examples: “He’s a bit kleptomanic when it comes to office supplies.”
