fanatic字源：

c.1525, "insane person," from L. fanaticus "mad, enthusiastic, inspired by a god ," originally, "pertaining to a temple," from fanum "temple ," related to festus "festive" (see feast). Current sense of "extremely zealous," especially in religion, is first attested 1647. The noun is from 1650, originally in religious sense, of Nonconformists.

fanatic是從拉丁的 fanaticus 而來的，原指的是"mad, enthusiastic, inspired by a god"，因為這個拉丁字是從 fanum "廟宇temple而來的"，後來字義轉變成 極度的狂熱，特別指在宗教上 。

"to imagine, have visions," related to phaos, phos "light." Sense of "whimsical notion, illusion" is pre-1400, followed by that of "imagination," which is first attested 1539.
