-	A '''fetish''' denotes something which is believed to possess, contain, or cause [[spiritual]] or [[magical]] powers; an [[amulet]] or a [[talisman]]. This meaning was popularized in anthropology by [[Charles de Brosses]]'s ''[[Du culte des dieux fétiches]]'' (1760). Since the late 19th century, more specifically in the work of [[Alfred Binet]] (''[[Le fétichisme dans l'amour]]'', 1887), the term started to refer to something [[nonsexual]], such as an [[object]] or a [[part of the body]] which arouses [[sexual desire]] or is necessary for one to reach full sexual satisfaction. In common parlance, a fetish refers to an [[irrational]], or [[abnormal]] [[fixation]] or preoccupation.	+
