Etymology

The word fantastic traces back to Greek phantastikos, meaning "capable of imagining." It entered Late Latin as fantasticus, then Old French as fantastique, before settling into Middle English. Originally tied to the realm of imagination, its meaning expanded to describe anything extraordinarily good or unreal, reflecting the vividness of imaginative creations.
