Etymology of AFFLATUSES

The word "afflatuses" is the plural form of the noun "afflatus". The etymology of "afflatus" can be traced back to Latin. It comes from the verb "afflare", which means "to blow upon" or "to breathe into". In Latin, "afflatus" specifically refers to an inspired or divine breath, often associated with creative or poetic inspiration.
