Origin Middle English (in the sense 'deceiving, deception'): via Old French from Latin illusio(n-), from illudere 'to mock', from in- 'against' + ludere 'play'. The first sense recorded for illusion was ‘deception, attempt to fool’. It came via Old French from Latin illudere ‘to mock, ridicule, make sport of’, from in- ‘against’ and ludere ‘play’. The prime modern sense of ‘a false idea or belief’ dates from the late 18th century.
