Word origin
The word 'fan' originated in the late 17th century and is believed to come from the Latin word 'vannus' meaning 'winnowing fan'. The concept of a fan as a device for creating air currents has evolved over time, with various uses in cooling, ventilation, and as a symbol of admiration. The term 'fan' to describe an enthusiast or admirer of a particular subject became popular in the 19th century, particularly in the context of sports and entertainment.
