Etymology
'manifestation' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'manifestatio,' where 'manifestare' meant 'to make public.'
'manifestatio' transformed into the Old French word 'manifestacion,' and eventually became the modern English word 'manifestation' through Middle English.
Initially, it meant 'to make public or visible,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'an event or action that embodies something.'
