Etymology Origin:
The word "creation" traces back to the Latin creatio, derived from creare ("to make"). This root is also the source of related English words like "creative" and "creator." The suffix -tion transforms the verb into a noun, emphasizing the act or result of making something. The concept evolved from physical production (e.g., crafting objects) to abstract or divine acts (e.g., the creation of the universe).
