An imagined perfect society where everyone lives in peace, fairness, and happiness. It is often used to describe ideal but unrealistic plans for society.
Coined by Sir Thomas More in 1516 for his book 'Utopia', from Greek 'ou' (not) + 'topos' (place), meaning 'no place' or 'nowhere'. It was a pun, also sounding like 'eutopia' (good place).
