Why this word is great
ENTHEASM — [Noun] Divine inspiration or ecstatic religious enthusiasm. From the Ancient Greek ἐνθεασμός (entheasmós, "divine inspiration"), from ἐν- (en-, "in") and θεός (theós, "god"). Unlike "enthusiasm," a general fervor now applied to hobbies or causes, or "ecstasy," a rapture that can be merely sensual, entheasm is the specific and terrible privilege of becoming a conduit for the divine. It is the Delphic priestess shuddering on the tripod, the dervish dissolving into a vortex of devotion, the scribe's hand guided by an unseen force—a fleeting, unbearable contact that hollows the self, leaving only the silence that follows revelation.
