Etymology: Before it meant inventing a plan, a drink, or a story, the Latin root "concoquere" meant simply to cook together, from "con-" ("together") and "coquere" ("to cook"). Medieval physicians applied the idea to digestion, so "concoction" described the stomach cooking food into usable matter, and the humours of the body were thought to ripen in the same way. English borrowed the verb with that kitchen sense still close at hand, so to concoct was originally to prepare something by mixing and heating its ingredients. The figurative sense of blending separate elements into something new grew out of that literal meaning, and it is the one that dominates today.

Synonyms: created, mixed, formulated, fabricated, devise
