Conception/Conceive

  • to perceive is to become aware of something directly through the senses
  • to conceive is to form something in the mind or to develop an understanding
  • perceiving is merely seeing
  • conceiving is deeper
  • are relatively shallow interpretations
  • are more creative interpretations involving substantial thought or imagination

Of course, a separate definition of conceive is to become pregnant. This actually helps in remembering the other definitions of conceive; all conceptions are acts of creation
