To create is to bring something new into existence, such as an idea, object, or work of art.
From Latin “creare,” meaning “to make, bring forth, produce,” which was used for both physical birth and making things. It entered English through French and church Latin.
Creating isn’t just for artists; every time you solve a problem in a new way, you’re creating. The word’s roots in birth remind us that making something new—an app, a poem, a plan—is a kind of intellectual or emotional ‘birth.’
