Definition
To make foolish or silly; to befuddle or infatuate someone.
Etymology
From Latin 'affatuus' (made foolish), combining 'ad-' (to) + 'fatuus' (foolish, fatuous). The root 'fatuus' is the same origin as the modern English word 'fatuous,' meaning silly or stupid.
Kelly Says
The Latin word 'fatuus' literally meant 'foolish'—and Romans used 'affatuare' to describe how love or passion could make someone completely lose their mind! It's the ancestor of 'infatuate.'
