🌳Etymology
Origin
From Latin 'superstitiosus', derived from 'superstitio' meaning an irrational fear of the gods or excessive religious belief. The Latin root 'super-' (over/above) combined with 'stare' (to stand) originally referred to standing over or being left over, which came to mean lingering dread or excessive belief.
