Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Coined in English in the late 1960s during the height of rock and roll culture, combining the noun 'group' with the diminutive suffix '-ie'. Originally denoting a fan who follows a rock band on tour in the hope of meeting them personally, the term has since broadened to describe any enthusiastic devotee of a celebrity, athlete, or public figure.
