15世纪早期, ficcioun,“在头脑中创造或想象出来的东西”,源自于13世纪的古法语 ficcion “欺骗,诡计; 发明,制造”,直接源自拉丁语 fictionem(主格 fictio)“塑造或假装”,动作名词,来自于 fingere 的过去分词词干,“塑造,形成,设计,假装”,最初的意思是“揉捏,用黏土塑造”,源自于 PIE 词根 *dheigh- “形成,建造”。
“想象中的散文作品(非戏剧)”的意思始于1590年代,最初经常包括戏剧和诗歌。更狭义的“文学作品的一部分,包括基于想象场景或角色的小说和短篇小说”的意义早在19世纪初就已经出现。法律意义(fiction of law)始于1580年代。小说作家可以被称为 fictionist(1827年)。相关的拉丁词语包括字面意义上的“手工制作”,以及“在头脑中发明的; 人造的,不自然的”比喻意义:拉丁语 fictilis “由黏土,陶土制成的”; fictor “模具,雕塑家”(17世纪也被借用到英语中),但也包括尤利西斯作为“欺骗大师”的意思; fictum “欺骗,虚假; 虚构”。
