Etymology
The French noun *fantôme* comes from Old French *fantome* (c. 13th c.), itself borrowed from Latin *phantasma* “apparition, spectre”. Latin *phantasma* is derived from the Greek *phantásma*, the noun of *phántazein* “to appear, show”. The word entered French with the same meaning and has remained unchanged in form and sense into modern usage.
