prettygoodwordfantast (FAN-tast) - n., a dreamer, a visionary, one whose mind is full of fantastic notions, a predictor of the future.
Not to be confused with a fantod. Borrowed in the 1580s from German Phantast, which came either via Late Latin phantasticus or directly from Greek phantastḗs, boaster, from phantasiā, imagination -- with the modern sense influenced by fantasy.
