They are supernatural creatures that on the full moon transform into a wolf and lose control of their minds.

Half wolf, half man. They come out at a full moon and often prey on other humans. If you are bitten by a werewolf, you may turn into one.

Werewolves are mythic humans with the ability to shape shift into wolves.
Where did the werewolf originate from?

A fine for slaying a man; any of several large carnivorous mammals of the genus Canis, of the dog family Canidae, esp. C. lupus, usually hunting in packs, formerly common throughout the Northern Hemisphere but now chiefly restricted to the more unpopulated parts of its range.

Here's the answer: The word can be split into two. ‘Were’, which means ‘man’ and ‘wolf’, which means wolf. It derived from Old English.
Name one method of becoming a werewolf.
