influence |ˈinfloŏəns| noun
the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself.
ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French, or from medieval Latin influentia ‘inflow,’ from Latin influere, from in-‘into’ + fluere ‘to flow.’ The word originally had the general sense [an influx, flowing matter,] also specifically (in astrology) [the flowing in of ethereal fluid (affecting human destiny).] The sense [imperceptible or indirect action exerted to cause changes] was established in Scholastic Latin by the 13th cent., but not recorded in English until the late 16th cent.
