语源 (Etymology)
Origin:
From Latin fantasticus (imaginary), derived from Greek phantastikos (related to "phantasia" – imagination, illusion), ultimately linked to phainein (to show, appear). 中文翻译: 起源于拉丁语 fantasticus（想象的），源自希腊语 phantastikos（与“phantasia”——想象、幻觉相关），最终与 phainein（展示、显现）相关。
Historical Shift:
First recorded in the 16th century with meanings like "unreal," "imaginative," or "pertaining to fantasy." By the 20th century, it evolved to mean "extremely good" through semantic amelioration (positive shift in connotation). 中文翻译: 最早记录于16世纪，含义为“不真实的”“富有想象力的”或“与幻想相关的”。20世纪后，通过语义改善（内涵向积极方向转变），演变为“极好的”。
