Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin 'infatuare', meaning 'to make foolish', from 'in-' (into/make) + 'fatuus' (foolish, insipid). Entering Middle English in the 16th century, the term originally carried a stronger connotation of being rendered mentally deranged or utterly foolish by passion or conceit, eventually evolving to describe an intense, short-lived, and often irrational passion or admiration for someone or something.
