'human-idolizer' originates from English, specifically the words 'human' and 'idolizer', where 'human' ultimately derives from Latin 'humanus' meaning 'of man' and 'idolizer' comes via Latin 'idolum' (from Greek 'eidolon') meaning 'image' or 'phantom'.

'idolizer' changed from Greek 'eidolon' to Latin 'idolum', then to Old French forms and Late Latin/Medieval Latin influences producing verbs like 'idolizare' and Old French 'idoliser', which entered English as 'idolize' and acquired the agentive suffix '-er' to form 'idolizer'; the compound 'human-idolizer' is a modern English coinage combining 'human' + 'idolizer'.

Initially, 'idol' meant 'image' or 'representation'; over time it came to mean an object or person of worship, and 'idolizer' came to mean one who worships or excessively admires; the compound 'human-idolizer' now specifically denotes someone who directs that worship or excessive admiration toward human beings.
