To make something appear or seem to happen, as if by magic, or to call up a memory or image in someone's mind.
From Latin 'conjurare' (to swear together), made of 'com-' (together) + 'jurare' (to swear). Originally meant making someone swear an oath, then evolved to mean summoning spirits magically.
The word started by meaning 'to make a sacred promise together,' then magicians stole it for magic tricks, and now it just means 'to make something appear'—words evolve through complete job changes!
