Etymology

The term 'manifesto' originates from the Latin word 'manifestus', which means 'clear' or 'evident'. The use of the word in English dates back to the 17th century, evolving to refer specifically to a written statement that publicly declares one's beliefs or intentions. The concept of a manifesto became particularly prominent during the 19th century alongside various political movements, as individuals and groups sought to outline their demands and ideologies. Famous manifestos, such as 'The Communist Manifesto' by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, have left a significant impact on political thought and social change. Over time, the term has expanded beyond politics to encompass various fields, including art, literature, and philosophy, where individuals may articulate their vision and purpose.
