Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from French, combining 'clair' (meaning 'clear', from Latin 'clarus') and 'voyant' (meaning 'seeing', present participle of 'voir', from Latin 'videre'). Entering the English language in the mid-19th century amidst a surge of interest in spiritualism, it originally described a person claiming the faculty of perceiving objects or events beyond the normal range of sensory perception.
