adjective

  1. Given to fashioning or molding.

    rare

    Goethe, say his censors, has, in the poem in question, placed the Christian religion, with its self-denials and its stern verities, in unfavourable contrast with […] classic heathenism […] with its throng of […] poetic phantoms that made every hill and valley and fountain, every forest-glade and green field and sea-beach, so full of lovely and awful mystery for the busy fingent fancy of the early Greek.

Where it comes from

Borrowed from Latin fingēns (“shaping, fashioning”).
