The word 'manifest' has officially claimed its spot in linguistic stardom, as the Cambridge Dictionary has crowned it the 'Word of the Year 2024'.
Once relegated to self-help books and niche spiritual circles, 'manifest' has exploded into mainstream usage, after 'high-beam' endorsements by celebrities like Dua Lipa and Simone Biles.
The buzzword has been adopted by millions across Tik Tok, Instagram, and beyond, where 'manifesting' often means imagining success into reality. From the Covid-era beginnings of this trend to its meteoric rise this year, the term reflects a modern obsession with self-belief and optimism-albeit one that experts warn, is more often fantasy than fact.
