Etymology
Illuminati as a modern idea uses the old Latin root illumin- meaning 'to light up' or 'make bright', just like the word illuminate. Because the name means 'the enlightened ones', people imagine a secret group that knows more than others and may control world events, which is why it appears in many conspiracy stories.
