Etymologia (Angielski)

Dziedziczone z średnioangielski: pagan

Dziedziczone z średnioangielski: payen

In summary

From Middle English pagan (adjective and noun), from Latin pāgānus (“rural, rustic", later "civilian”), replaced Middle English payen from the same root.
The meaning "not Christian" arose in Vulgar Latin, probably from the 4th century, owing to the Roman countryside being largely non-christian, or potentially from the "civilian" meaning - denoting those not in the "army of Christ". As a self-designation of neopagans, attested since 1990.
Partly displaced native heathen, from Old English hǣþen.
