    2: information or a piece of information presented as true or accurate

    3: the quality of being actual : actuality


    Origin: 15th century ;

     Borrowed from Latin factum "deed, action, real event," noun derivative from neuter of factus, past participle of facere "to make, bring about, perform, do," going back to a suffixed form *dhh1-k-i̯e- (with perfect fēcī from *dheh1-k-) of Indo-European *dhh1-, dheh1- "put, place, make, do" {mat|do:1|};

      * Note : The extension *-k- has been compared with the Greek extended aorist éthēka "I placed" (corresponding to present títhēmi "I set, put, placed"), apparently parallel to Latin jaciō, jacere "to throw" and Greek hêka "I threw" (see: {jet:3|jet:3}); though the identity of the two formatives has been disputed.;
