Origin

Early 17th century (in sense 2): from French enthousiasme, or via late Latin from Greek enthousiasmos, from enthous 'possessed by a god, inspired' (based on theos 'god').

The origin of enthusiasm is Greek enthous ‘possessed by a god, inspired’, from theos ‘god’, which is the root of many words including atheist (mid 16th century), pantheon (Old English), and theology. Until relatively recently enthusiasm, enthusiast, and enthusiastic had stronger and less favourable meanings than they do today. Enthusiasm was originally, in the early 17th century, religious mania or divine inspiration, often involving ‘speaking in tongues’ and wild, uncontrollable behaviour. An enthusiast was a religious fanatic or fundamentalist, or a hypocrite pretending to be one. Over the next hundred years or so the force of enthusiasm and its related words weakened so that they arrived at something like our modern meanings.
