Etymology
Fetishist comes from fetish, which comes from Portuguese feitiço meaning 'charm' or 'made object', and from Latin facere 'to make'. Sailors used the word for African objects thought to have magic, so a fetishist is someone who has very strong attention or desire for a particular object or body part, often with a sexual feeling.
