- early 19th cent. (originally US): back-formation from enthusiasm
- The verb enthuse is formed as a back-formation from the noun enthusiasm and, like many verbs formed from nouns in this way (especially those originating from the US), it is regarded by traditionalists as unacceptable. It is difficult to see why: it is a perfectly respectable means for creating new words in the language (verbs like classify, commentate, and edit were also formed as back-formations from nouns, for example) and enthuse itself has now been in English over 150 years
