Etymology

The word 'imagine' originated from the Middle English word 'ymagenen', which came from Old French 'imaginer', and from Latin 'imaginare' meaning 'to form a mental picture'. The term has been in use since the 14th century and has evolved to encompass both the act of creating mental images and supposing hypothetical situations.
