fad

• n. 時尚；一時的愛好；一時流行的狂熱

可能來自拉丁語fatuus, 無味的，愚笨的，詞源同fatuous. 原義為小的興趣愛好，癖好。後用來指沒主見，盲目跟風，一時狂熱。

fad (n.)

1834, "hobby, pet project" (adjective faddy is from 1824), of uncertain origin. Perhaps shortened from fiddle-faddle. Or perhaps from French fadaise "trifle, nonsense," which is ultimately from Latin fatuus "stupid." From 1881 as "fashion, craze," or as Century Dictionary has it, "trivial fancy adopted and pursued for a time with irrational zeal."
