Comes up with
Invents is the third-person singular of invent, meaning to create something new—a device, method, or concept that didn't exist before: She invents gadgets in her garage.
It also means to fabricate or make up: He invents excuses whenever he's late.
The line between creating and fabricating often involves whether the invention serves truth or evades it.
