Etymology
Fanatic as a noun comes from the same Latin fanaticus, from fanum meaning 'temple' and 'inspired by a god'. Because it once meant extreme religious devotion, today a fanatic is a person with very strong enthusiasm who may not listen to other ideas, and it also gave the short word fan, which people use for someone who strongly likes a team or celebrity.
