adj. showing intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval
adj. filled with or motivated by enthusiasm
The word "enthusiastic" originates from the Greek enthousiastikos, meaning "inspired by a god." The root enthus- derives from entheos (en- "in" + theos "god"), reflecting the idea of divine inspiration. Over time, the meaning shifted from religious fervor to general intense excitement or passion. The suffix -iast denotes association, and -ic forms an adjective, creating the modern sense of "full of enthusiasm."
