Etymology of FERVENT

The word "fervent" originated from the Latin word "fervēre", which means "to boil" or "to be hot". This Latin word is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root "*bhreu̯-", meaning "to boil" or "to bubble". Over time, "fervēre" evolved into the Latin adjective "fervēns", which means "boiling" or "glowing". From there, the word entered Middle English as "fervent" in the 14th century, retaining its original meaning of intense heat or fervor.
