phantom

phantom: [13] Like fancy and fantasy, phantom goes back ultimately to the Greek verb phantázein ‘make visible’, a derivative of phaínein ‘show’ (source also of English diaphanous and phenomenon [17]). From phantázein was derived the noun phántasma ‘apparition, spectre’, which passed into Latin as phantasma. This reached English in two separate forms: as phantom, via Old French fantosme; and as phantasm [13], via Old French fantasme. The latter formed the basis of the fanciful coinage (originally French) phantasmagoria [19]. Other related English words are emphasis and pant.
=> diaphanous, emphasis, pant, phase, phenomenon

(see ph). Meaning "specter, spirit, ghost" is attested from late 14c.; that of "something having the form, but not the substance, of a real thing" is from 1707. As an adjective from early 15c.
