How did James Cameron come up with Avatar?

The word "avatar" in Hindu mythology refers to the incarnation of a deity on Earth, normally in a human or animal form. One opinion is that in the movie humans thought that they were superior to the Na'vi, so manifesting themselves as one of them could be used as a deity-like means of control or influence.

The word "avatar" can also refer to an embodiment or temporary manifestation of an entity, idea, or principle; a human connects to and "embodies" their avatar body. Other opinions believe that this is the intended meaning.
