The answer
FANCY
What fancy means
To like or want something, or to imagine or suppose something might be true; also means elaborately decorated or of high quality.
Where the word comes from
From Middle English *fancien*, a shortening of *fantasien*, which comes from Old French *fantaisie* (imagination, whim). The Old French word derives from Late Latin *fantasia*, borrowed from Greek *phantasia* (appearance, imagination), rooted in *phantazein* (to make visible), from *phanai* (to show). The sense evolved from "imagination" to "liking" to the modern meaning of desiring or decorative refinement.
