Manifesto
Manifesto corresponds to a public declaration of policy and aims. While it can generally apply to any walk of life, it is particularly used in the political sphere, wherein a party or a candidate issue their political manifesto before an election.
Origin
The word is from Italian manifesto that means “public declaration explaining past actions and announcing the motive for forthcoming ones”. The original meaning “proof’ is from Latin manifestus, which is also used to mean “clear, apparent, evident’.
The word, which has been around since the 1640s, has been consistently popular owing to its political connections.
Usage
Environmental issues like clean energy, air and water, and waste management are increasingly finding their way into political manifestos.
