Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Late Latin influentia, meaning 'flowing in' from influere (in- 'into' + fluere 'to flow'). Originally used in astrology to describe an ethereal fluid emanating from the stars that was thought to affect human character and destiny, it broadened in the 16th century to general power or sway.
