Hello Kingfisher In anthropology, it means an object that is believed to have supernatural or magical powers, and is thus treated with great reverence. Metaphorically, it means an object or part of the body with which you have an obsession, often sexual in nature. For instance, someone might have a sexual fetish/fetiche about shoes or women's feet.
