ADHD was a bad name for it based on the symptoms. Any deeper thought into the name is likely to cause incorrect conclusions. It meant literal, physical hyperactiveness.
It's like naming the flu "coughy chills with a runny nose".
Influenza comes from the astrological belief that the stars had influence on one's health.
