Origin of pantheism

From pan- + theism, in which pan derives from Ancient Greek πᾶν (pân), meaning “all”, and theism from Ancient Greek θεός (theós), meaning “god”. The first known use is from 1702, in an English translation of Joseph Raphson’s 1697 book De Spatio Reali seu Ente Infinito, written in Latin, which coined the Latin term Pantheismus.
