From Latin fastidiosus, meaning 'disdainful' or 'squeamish,' derived from fastidium (disgust, aversion). Originally described someone who was easily disgusted or had refined tastes that rejected anything impure or imperfect.
Think 'fast-idious' as someone who moves fast to fix any imperfection! A fastidious person can't tolerate mess or mistakes - they're like a human spell-checker, catching every tiny error that others miss.
