🌳Etymology
Origin
From Latin 'fabrication-' (noun form of fabricari, meaning 'to make or construct'), which derives from 'fabrica' meaning 'workshop' or 'structure'. The word entered English through Old French in the 15th century, initially referring to the making of something, but later acquired the sense of making something false or deceptive.
