It is an English word dating from 1564, "opponent of Anglican hierarchy," later applied opprobriously to "person in Church of England who seeks further reformation" (1571), probably from purity (q.v.). After c.1592, applied to anyone deemed overly strict in matters of religion and morals.

It is an English word. Puritanism arose within the Anglican church among those dissatisfied with the pace of church reforms. When Henry VIII separated the English church from Rome, the primary question was, Who was the earthly head of the English church, the king or the pope? Many other doctrines and forms of Catholicism remained. Yet Anglicanism quickly came under pressure from other Protestants wishing to further transform the English church. Simultaneously, those loyal to Rome struggled to return England to the Catholic fold.
