The word 'manifest' has been announced as Cambridge Dictionary's Word of the Year, who add that they will include a new definition of the word in their dictionaries. While the word itself is not new, the way the word is used by celebrities and influencers is. It's almost as if a new definition of "manifest" has been "manifested" into existence.

The dictionary noted that the word had jumped from use in the self-help community and on social media to being widely used across mainstream media and beyond, as celebrities such as singer Dua Lipa and Olympic gymnast Simone Biles spoke of manifesting their success in 2024.

Manifest” has been named Cambridge Dictionary’s word of the year for 2024 – despite academics admitting the concept of manifesting your own success has no scientific validity.
