Hey, we could look it up in Wikipedia. What a good idea! Here's what it says [a very small part]: " "Fundamentalist" describes a movement to return to what is considered the defining or founding principles of the religion. It has especially come to refer to any religious enclave that intentionally resists identification with the larger religious group in which it originally arose, on the basis that fundamental principles upon which the larger religious group is supposedly founded have become corrupt or displaced by alternative principles hostile to its identity." But Wikipedia agrees with Chris that the term originated with publication of "The Fundamentals", although it has now taken on a much broader meaning.
