Etymology

The word 'manifest' comes from the Latin word 'manifestus', which means 'palpable' or 'evident'. It first appeared in English in the late 14th century with the meaning 'clearly revealed to the eye or the understanding'. Over time, the word evolved to also include the sense of 'to show or demonstrate'. The concept of manifesting one's desires or intentions gained popularity in the New Thought movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
