Usage Examples

Etymology

The French noun *fanatique* comes directly from the French adjective *fanatique*, which entered the language in the early 19th century from the Latin *fanaticus*. *Fanaticus* itself is derived from *fanum* (“shrine, temple”), originally meaning “pertaining to a shrine” or “dedicated to a deity”; the sense evolved to “excessively devoted” to any cause. In French the noun form was later adopted to denote a person who is excessively devoted or zealous, mirroring the broader modern usage.
