fad

• n. 时尚；一时的爱好；一时流行的狂热

可能来自拉丁语fatuus, 无味的，愚笨的，词源同fatuous. 原义为小的兴趣爱好，癖好。后用来指没主见，盲目跟风，一时狂热。

fad (n.)

1834, "hobby, pet project" (adjective faddy is from 1824), of uncertain origin. Perhaps shortened from fiddle-faddle. Or perhaps from French fadaise "trifle, nonsense," which is ultimately from Latin fatuus "stupid." From 1881 as "fashion, craze," or as Century Dictionary has it, "trivial fancy adopted and pursued for a time with irrational zeal."
