imaginario

/imaxiˈnaɾjo/ · B2 · adj

imaginary

💭 imaginario = imagin(e) + -ario, belonging to what the mind invents

From Latin imaginarius, from imago meaning image or likeness. The suffix -ario marks something related to a thing, so imaginario describes what exists only as an idea, not in reality. Same root as English imagine and image.
