Etymology

The word 'enthuse' originated from the Greek word 'enthousiasmos', which means 'to be inspired or possessed by a god'. Narratively, the term was introduced into the English language in the early 19th century, primarily used to describe a fervent or passionate state of mind. By the mid-19th century, 'enthuse' had evolved into a verb form, reflecting the act of expressing enthusiasm or excitement. The common usage of the term has since expanded across various contexts, from casual conversation to more formal discourse, encapsulating any expression of intense emotion regarding interests or experiences.
