   What does fervid mean in English?

   • While what is now the secondary sense of fervid, meaning "fiery" or "hot," emerged in the late 16th century, its figurative understanding of "zealous" or "passionate" did not appear in English until midway into the next century. Prior to its English incarnation, fervid took the form of the Latin word fervidus, meaning both "burning" and "vehement."
