[Combination] of fan and zine. Coined in 1940 by Maryland sf fan L. Russell Chauvenet to apply to the amateur publications put out by sf fans (as opposed to "prozines," the [professional] magazines). (Previously they had been called "fan magazines" but the new term was promptly adopted since "fan magazines" also meant [professional] magazines put out at the time about movie stars.) The term has since been coopted by any number of interest areas where amateur publications are involved, including but not limited to rock.
