<p>An <b>entity</b> is something that <a href="Existence" title="Existence">exists</a> as itself. It does not need to be of material existence. In particular, <a href="Abstraction" title="Abstraction">abstractions</a> and <a href="Legal_fiction" title="Legal fiction">legal fictions</a> are usually regarded as entities. In general, there is also no presumption that an entity is <a href="Life" title="Life">animate</a>, or <a href="Present" title="Present">present</a>. The verb tense of this form is to 'entitize' - meaning to convert into an entity; to perceive as tangible or alive.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The term is broad in scope and may refer to animals; natural features such as mountains; inanimate objects such as tables; numbers or sets as symbols written on a paper; human contrivances such as laws, corporations and academic disciplines; or <a href="Supernatural" title="Supernatural">supernatural</a> beings such as gods and spirits.

</p><p>The adjectival form is <i>entitative</i>.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Etymology">Etymology</h2></div>

<p>The word <i>entity</i> is derived from the Latin <i>entitas</i>, which in turn derives from the Latin <i>ens</i> meaning "being" or "existing" (compare English <i><a href="Essence" title="Essence">essence</a></i>). <i>Entity</i> may hence literally be taken to mean "thing which exists".

<div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="Ontology" title="Ontology">Ontology</a></div>

<p>Ontology is the study of concepts of existence, and of recognition of entities. The words ontic and entity are derived respectively from the ancient Greek and Latin present participles that mean "<a href="Being" class="mw-redirect" title="Being">being</a>".
