en·thu·si·asm (Än-thĆ«'zÄ-Äz'Ém)
n.
Great excitement for or interest in a subject or cause.
A source or cause of great excitement or interest.
Archaic.
Ecstasy arising from supposed possession by a god.
Religious fanaticism.
[Late Latin enthĆ«siasmus, from Greek enthousiasmos, from enthousiazein, to be inspired by a god, from entheos, possessed : en-, in; see enâ2 + theos, god.]
WORD HISTORY âNothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,â said the very quotable Ralph Waldo Emerson, who also said, âEverywhere the history of religion betrays a tendency to enthusiasm.â These two uses of the word enthusiasmâone positive and one negativeâboth derive from its source in Greek. Enthusiasm first appeared in English in 1603 with the meaning âpossession by a god.â The source of the word is the Greek enthousiasmos, which ultimately comes from the adjective entheos, âhaving the god within,â formed from en, âin, within,â and theos, âgod.â Over time the meaning of enthusiasm became extended to ârapturous inspiration like that caused by a godâ to âan overly confident or delusory belief that one is inspired by God,â to âill-regulated religious fervor, religious extremism,â and eventually to the familiar sense âcraze, excitement, strong liking for something.â Now one can have an enthusiasm for almost anything, from water skiing to fast food, without religion entering into it at all |

Enthusiasm (Greek: enthousiasmos) originally meant inspiration or possession by a divine afflatus or by the presence of a god. Today it simply means intense enjoyment, interest or approval.
Originally an enthusiast is a person possessed by a god. Applied by the Greeks to manifestations of divine possession, by Apollo, as in the case of the Pythia, or by Dionysus, as in the case of the Bacchantes and Maenads, the term enthusiasm was also used in a transferred or figurative sense. Thus Socrates speaks of the inspiration of poets as a form of enthusiasm. Its uses, in a religious sense, are confined to an exaggerated or wrongful belief in religious inspiration, or to intense religious fervour or emotion. Thus a Syrian sect of the 4th century was known as the Enthusiasts. They believed that by perpetual prayer, ascetic practices and contemplation, man could become inspired by the Holy Spirit, in spite of the ruling evil spirit, which the fall had given to him. From their belief in the efficacy of prayer, they were also known as Euchites. Several protestant sects of the 16th and 17th centuries were called enthusiastic. During the 18th century, popular Methodists such as John Wesley or George Whitefield were accused of blind enthusiasm (i.e. fanaticism).
In modern ordinary usage, enthusiasm has lost its peculiar religious significance, and means a whole-hearted devotion to an ideal, cause, study or pursuit. Sometimes, in a depreciatory sense, it implies a devotion which is partisan and is blind to difficulties and objections. |
