- 1戀物癖（指這種傾向或行為，不是「那個人」）
Fetishism is not the person — it is the pattern. In the sexual sense, it is when someone gets sexual feeling from an object, a material, a body part, or an activity that is not the usual centre of sex (shoes, leather, a certain fabric, and so on). The person who feels this way is a . Textbooks use the word in a careful, almost medical way; in ordinary talk it can sound more casual, and sometimes . Though actually, that is not where the word began. Earlier, fetishism named a religious idea: treating a made object as if it had power or a spirit. In serious writing you will still meet that older sense, and a looser modern one — an extreme, almost worshipful attachment to something that is not a god, as when writers talk about a fetishism of numbers or of money. Same family of meaning: treating a thing as if it were more than a thing.
組成fetish + -ism (the practice or way of feeling). Fetish came into English from French fétiche, from Portuguese feitiço, a charm or object thought to have power, from Latin facticius, “made by art,” from facere, “to make.”
