Word origin
The term 'spiritualist' originated in the mid-19th century during the rise of the Spiritualist movement, which gained popularity in Europe and the United States. Spiritualism emerged as a response to the growing interest in communication with the spirit world and the belief in an afterlife. Spiritualists sought to bridge the gap between the living and the dead, often using mediums to facilitate communication.
