'''Fiction''' is an imaginative form of [[narrative]], one of the four basic [[Rhetoric|rhetorical]] modes. Although the word ''fiction'' is derived from the [[Latin]] ''fingo, fingere, finxi, fictum'', "to form, create", works of fiction need not be entirely [[Imagination|imaginary]] and may include real people, places, and events. Fiction may be written or oral or may be presented as a [[film]] or in theater or on radio or television. Although not all fiction is necessarily artistic, fiction is largely perceived as a form of [[art]] or entertainment. The ability to create fiction and other artistic works is considered to be a fundamental aspect of human [[culture]], one of the defining characteristics of [[humanity]].
