The story your brain tells before the facts have a chance to argue.
means The act of explaining, translating, or making sense of something — assigning meaning to words, signs, art, or events.
from From Latin interpretari, 'to explain, translate, understand,' built on interpres, a 'negotiator' or 'go-between' — the person who stood in the middle of two parties and turned one side's meaning into the other's. The mysterious second part, -pres, may be related to Latin pretium, 'price,' hinting at the interpres as a kind of broker bargaining over meaning. It reached English through Old French interpretation in the 14th century, already wearing its modern senses of translating and explaining.
