Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin past participle 'infatuatus', meaning 'made foolish', from 'in-' (into) plus 'fatuus' (foolish or insipid). Entering the English language in the late 16th century, the term initially carried a strong theological connotation of being rendered mentally foolish or morally blinded, eventually shifting toward its modern romantic and obsessive sense.
