Word Origin & Etymology

Formed from the adjective 'superstitious' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. The root traces back to Old French 'superstitieux' and Latin 'superstitiosus' (full of dread of the supernatural, prophetic), from 'superstitio' (excessive fear of the gods or unreasonable religious belief).
