locura, noun
madness, insanity

La locura, madness, is the noun derived from the adjective loco.

Huyen de la hambruna y la locura colectiva que asola sus países.
They’re fleeing the famine and collective madness devastating their countries.

Locura is used in a couple of very idiomatic phrases. First, es una locura, it’s crazy, it’s mad:

Es una locura pero tenía que venir.
I know it’s crazy, but I had to come.

And then in the phrase hacer locuras:

No hagas locuras.
Don’t do anything crazy or stupid.
