Neologism Nepotism Nanny State

 "In linguistics, a neologism (/niˈɒləˌdʒɪzəm/; also known as a coinage) is any  

newly formed word, term, or phrase that nevertheless  

has achieved popular or institutional recognition and is becoming accepted into mainstream language.  

Most definitively, a word can be considered a neologism once it is published in a dictionary."

"Neologisms are one facet of lexical innovation, i.e., the linguistic process of new terms and meanings entering a language's lexicon.  

The most precise studies into language change and word formation, in fact, identify the process of a "neological continuum":  

a nonce word is any single-use term that may or may not grow in popularity; 

 a protologism is such a term used exclusively within a small group;  

a prelogism is such a term that is gaining usage but still not mainstream 

; and a neologism has become accepted or recognized by social institutions" 

"Examples of words that were 20th-century neologisms include laser (1970), an acronym of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation; robot (1921) from Czech writer Karel Čapek's play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots); and agitprop (1930; a portmanteau of Russian "agitatsiya" (agitation) and "propaganda")." 

 

Mined by Hong Kong, Russia, Israel, dingbat oligarchs, for neologisms portmanteaus, non sequitur truisms, and every stripe of linguistic literary lion.
