The word 'fabricator' has its origins in the Latin word 'fabricare', which means 'to make' or 'to construct'. Over time, the term evolved to refer to skilled craftsmen who created various products. In the modern context, 'fabricator' is commonly used in manufacturing industries to describe individuals or companies involved in the production of goods. The informal usage of the word to denote someone who fabricates stories or lies emerged from the idea of 'constructing' false narratives.
