Passion
/ˈpaʃ(ə)n/ (n.)
— Middle English: from Old French, from late Latin passio(n- ) (chiefly a term in Christian theology), from Latin pati ‘suffer’.
“Passion” meant, originally, to suffer and ultimately, in the Baby Jesus’ case, to die in the pursuit of something you care about. So, if you are prepared for a life or torment, irritation and disappointment, by all means, follow your passion.
