Etymology
The French verb *falsifier* is borrowed from Latin *falsificāre*, itself formed from *falsus* “false” plus the suffix *‑ficāre* (“to make, to produce”). It entered French in the early 16th century, originally used in legal and ecclesiastical contexts to denote forging documents or deceiving. Over time its meaning broadened to include any act of altering or forging information.
