conceived
Formed in mind
Conceived most often means formed in the mind—an idea, plan, or belief that someone thought up: The project was conceived as a way to reduce waste.
It also means to become pregnant: She conceived after years of trying.
The passive construction conceived in describes origins: a nation conceived in liberty.
Something poorly conceived was badly planned from the start.
