Etymology

The term 'manifest' comes from the Latin 'manifestare', meaning to make evident or clear. Over time, it evolved in English to encompass the idea of demonstrating or revealing something tangible. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly within the New Thought movement, the concept gained traction as a method for personal development and self-improvement, linking mental focus with the attainment of desires. The fusion of psychological principles with metaphysical beliefs in manifesting has since become prominent in modern self-help culture, encapsulating a belief in the power of intention and the mind's ability to influence reality.
