Etymonline
Word Origin & History
pantheist
"belief that God and the universe are identical," 1705, coined by Ir. deist John Toland (1670-1722), from Gk. pan- "all" + theos "god" (see Thea). Toland's word was borrowed into Fr., which from it formed panthéisme (1712) which returned to Eng. as pantheism "the doctrine
that all is god" in 1732 (no evidence that Toland used pantheism). Gk. pantheios meant "common to all gods" (see pantheon). Other words used at various times for similar notions include panentheism, "philosophy founded on the notion that all things are in God" (1874), from Ger. (1828), coined by Karl Christian Friedrich Krause (1781-1832).
