The word "superstition" also exists in French.
Superstition is a credulous belief or noting, not based on reason, knowledge, or experience. The word is often used pejoratively to refer to folk beliefs deemed irrational.
The word superstition is normally a noun. For instance, in the sentence "Molly has a superstition about black cats," the word is a noun. You could also say "Molly has a superstitious fear of black cats," where "superstitious" is an adjective describing the word fear. The only case I can think of where superstition would be an adjective would be something where you were talking about the Superstition Mountains in Arizona.
The first superstition is believed to have referred to religious practices like voodoo. The belief in spirits is likely the first reference to a superstition.
I've heard of a superstition that mermaids are real and that they kill marine animals for food.
