Pronunciation of the word "enthusiasm"

Hello,

I hope my question is not too trivial for this forum.
Might someone tell me, if the word "enthusiasm" is accentuated on the first or the second syllable, please?

Thanks a lot!

I pronounce it with the stress on "THU," so "en-THU-si-a-sm." That's the only way I've ever heard it.

I agree with Kirk.
