Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm ( enthousiasmos) originally meant inspiration or possession by a divine afflatus or by the presence of a god.  Johnson's Dictionary, the first comprehensive dictionary of the English language, divines enthusiasm as "a vain belief of private revelation; a vain confidence of divine favour or communication." In current English vernacular the word simply means intense enjoymentinterest, or approval.
