The beginning or start of something, especially an idea, project, or organization.
From Latin 'inceptio' meaning 'a beginning', from 'incipere' (to begin), formed from 'in-' (in) and 'capere' (to take). It suggests the moment something is first taken up.
Inception isn’t just any start; it’s the moment an idea or project is first ‘taken in hand’. That’s why the movie ‘Inception’ plays with planting the very first seed of an idea inside someone’s mind.
