I like the part in this definition that implies that something authentic was
made by a master- that gives us all something to look forward to!

Etymology: Middle English autentik, from Middle French autentique, from Late
Latin authenticus, from Greek authentikos, from authentEs perpetrator,

 People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of
the sea , at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean,
at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without
wondering. -Saint Augustine (354-430)
