Definition
Plural of fiction; multiple made-up stories or invented narratives.
Etymology
Plural form of 'fiction' (from Latin 'fictio', past participle of 'fingere' meaning 'to make or shape'). The root 'fict-' appears across all related words.
Kelly Says
Interestingly, we use 'fictions' not just for novels but for any made-up stories we collectively agree to—money is a fiction, borders are fictions, identities are fictions we maintain.
