Antedating of "Existentialism"

[Fred Shapiro]

existentialism (OED 1941)

1922 _American Journal of Psychology_ 33: 81 (JSTOR)  My attempt sprang,
indeed, from a rather desperate desire somehow to bring intentionalism and
existentialism together at close quarters, and to transcend the mere
calling of names.
