Etimoloxía (Inglés)

In summary

Inherited from Old Spanish enfiesto, most likely inherited from Latin īnfestus. For the semantic development, Coromines and Pascual point out the use of īnfestus in classical Latin to describe spears in attack position and standards during marches, a usage that survives into Old Spanish alongside the new metaphorical usage that survives until today.
