From the Latin word 'illusio', which originally meant 'mockery' or 'deceit'. While English kept the 'deception' meaning, Spanish added a beautiful layer of 'joyful hope' over the centuries.

Is 'ilusiones' always a good thing?

Not always! While it usually means 'hopes' and is positive, it can also mean 'delusions' or 'false beliefs' if you are ignoring reality.

What is the singular form?

The singular form is 'ilusión'. Note that the singular has an accent on the 'ó', but the plural 'ilusiones' loses it.
