New American Oxford Dictionary

enthuse

en thuse |enˈTHo͞oz ɪnˈθ (j )uz | ▶verb [ reporting verb ] say something that expresses one's eager enjoyment, interest, or approval: [ no obj. ] : they both enthused over my new look | [ with direct speech ] : “This place is superb! ” she enthused. • [ with obj. ] make (someone ) interested and eagerly appreciative: public art is a tonic that can enthuse alienated youth. usage: The verb enthuse is formed as a back-formation from the noun enthusiasm and, like many verbs formed from nouns in this way, it is regarded by traditionalists as unacceptable. It is difficult to see why: it is a perfectly established means for creating new words in the language (verbs like classify, commentate, and edit were also formed as back-formations from nouns, for example ). Enthuse itself has been in the language for more than 150 years.

USAGE enthuse The verb enthuse is a back-formation from the noun enthusiasm and, like many verbs formed from nouns in this way, it is regarded by traditionalists as unacceptable. Enthuse has been in the language for more than 150 years, but, before using the word in formal writing, be aware that readers familiar with its Greek meaning may find casual usage misguided or irritating. Enthusiasm derives from a word originally meaning 'to become inspired or possessed by a god' ( en ‘in ’ + theos ‘god ’). From the traditionalist point of view, inspired or excited is preferable to enthused. Usage notes show additional guidance on finer points of English usage.
