manifestation singular

Morphology

manifestation = manifest (semi-transparent) = manifest + ation

Formally derived from 'manifest' + '-ation', but the New Age/self-help sense (bringing desires into reality) is a specialized extension that may not be inferable to learners from the base meaning alone.

Etymology

Manifestation comes from Latin meaning 'made visible', the same root as manifest, which helps to remember the self-help sense. So in this use a manifestation is when a thought or wish is turned into something real — you try to 'make' it visible.
