Etymology

Visionariness comes from vision and visionary, and ultimately from the Latin word videre meaning 'to see'. So visionariness is like having an inner 'sight' or strong imagination that lets you 'see' new, dream-like ideas, which explains its modern meaning of being imaginative or tending toward the imaginary.
