Etymology

The French noun *enthousiaste* comes from the Late Latin *enthusiastus*, itself a direct borrowing of the Greek *enthousiasmos* (“inspiration, divine possession”), which combines *en* (into) with *thousa* (a divine spirit). The term entered French via Old French *enthousiaste* in the 16th century and retained the sense of a person animated by strong enthusiasm. Its spelling and meaning have remained stable since the early modern period.
