Etymology

The word 'fictive' originates from the Latin verb 'fingere', which means 'to shape, form, or contrive'. This term evolved into the Late Latin 'fictivus', meaning 'produced by the imagination or untrue'. The transition into the English language occurred in the late 1500s, where it began to be used in the context of literature and storytelling to denote elements or narratives that are not based on actual events. Over time, 'fictive' has been widely adopted in both literary and academic discussions to refer to anything that is imaginative or constructed, particularly in relation to narratives and creative expressions.
