Confabulation
The noun confabulation appears in English in the mid-15th century. Confabulation derives from the Latin confabulatio, which means a conversation, literally, the telling of stories together.
Today, confabulation means a casual conversation or an unintentionally inaccurate recall. In the first sense, more than one person converses. In the second sense, one person misremembers.
