The word 'concoction' originated from the Latin word 'concoctio,' meaning 'digestion' or 'digestive process.' Over time, the term evolved to refer to the act of preparing a mixture of ingredients. In English, 'concoction' first appeared in the early 17th century and has since been used to describe both literal mixtures and fictitious stories.
