Etymology
The word imagine also comes from the Latin imago 'image', and a helpful way to remember the second meaning is this: when you 'make an image' of a situation in your head you often 'suppose' it could be true. That's why saying 'I imagine' can mean 'I think' or 'I believe' something is likely.
