Etymology
The word "improvisar" comes from the Latin verb "improvisare," which means 'to foresee or anticipate.' It evolved in Spanish to mean performing or creating something on the spot without prior planning. Did you know? The root 'provisare' relates to foresight, so "improvisar" amusingly means 'not foreseeing' what comes next!
