concoct

concoct: [16] To concoct an excuse is the same, etymologically, as to ‘cook’ one up. The word concoct comes from the past participle of Latin concoquere, a compound verb formed from the prefix com- ‘together’ and coquere ‘cook’. This was a derivative of the noun coquus ‘cook’, which was the source of English cook. The Latin verb developed several figurative senses, including ‘digest food’ and ‘reflect on something in the mind’, but ‘fabricate’ seems to be an English creation (first recorded in the late 18th century), developed from an earlier ‘make by mixing ingredients’.
