Additional Information

Etymology

1. c.1225, from O.Fr. figure, from L. figura "a shape, form, figure," from PIE *fig-, originally in Eng. with meaning "numeral," but sense of "form, likeness" is almost as old (c.1250). The verb meaning "to picture in the mind" is from 1603. Philosophical and scientific senses are from L. figura being used to translate Gk. skhema. Figurine is first attested 1854; a figurehead (1765) was originally the ornament on the bow of a ship; sense of "leader without real authority" is first attested 1883.
2. From Middle English figure, borrowed from Old French figure, from Latin figūra (“form, shape, form of a word, a figure of speech, Late Latin a sketch, drawing”), from fingō (“to form, shape, mold, fashion”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeyǵʰ- (“to mold, shape, form, knead”). Cognate with Ancient Greek τεῖχος (teîkhos), Sanskrit देग्धि (dégdhi), Old English dāg (“dough”). More at dough. Doublet of figura. See: Sanskrit 'देग्धि'.
