Word origin
The word 'idealistic' originated from the word 'ideal', which comes from the Late Latin word 'idealis', meaning 'existing in idea'. The suffix '-istic' is used to form adjectives expressing a characteristic or tendency. 'Idealistic' first appeared in the early 19th century as a term to describe someone who believes in or pursues high or noble principles. Over time, it has come to represent someone who is often overly optimistic or naive in their beliefs.
