Figmental

/fɪɡˈmɛntəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or composed of figments; imaginary or invented rather than real.

Etymology

From 'figment' (something imagined, from Latin 'figmentum' meaning something formed or fashioned) plus the suffix '-al' meaning related to or pertaining to.

Kelly Says

The word 'figment' comes from Latin 'fingere' (to form, feign), the same root as 'fiction' and 'fiction'—showing how our minds 'form' or 'feign' things that aren't real!
