Picture creation as bringing something into being that wasn't there a moment before — the root's oldest sense was even 'to make grow'. The word covers both the act of bringing-forth and the thing brought forth.
From the word’s history
From Latin creare 'to make, bring forth, produce'; De Vaan notes the older sense was 'to make grow'. The modern core keeps exactly this: bringing something into being.
來自拉丁文 creare「做出、生出、產生」;據 De Vaan,更早的意思是「使生長」。今天的核心正保留這一點:讓一樣東西從無到有地生出來。
