Etymology
The term 'machinate' originates from the Latin word 'machinari', which means 'to contrive, plan, or scheme'. It is derived from 'machina', meaning 'machine' or 'device', indicating a sense of cleverness and manual ingenuity in devising plans. The term entered English in the 16th century, often associated with devious plotting and manipulation. Over the years, 'machinate' has been likened to a mechanical process, where intricate and unexpected strategies are put into play, akin to the workings of a complex machine. This connection to both cunning and machinery paints a vivid picture of scheming that is both purposeful and intricate.
