The word "to manifest" means to show or demonstrate something clearly and openly. It refers to making a feeling, thought, or idea observable or apparent through actions, signs, or expressions. For example, when someone manifests their abilities, they are showing those abilities in a way that others can see and recognize.
The word "manifest" comes from the Latin word "manifestus," which means "struck by the hand" or "made obvious." It was formed from the prefix "mani-" (from "manus," meaning "hand") and the root "-festus," which derives from "facere," meaning "to make."
