Page "Neologism" Paragraph 0

A neologism (; ) is defined as a newly coined term, word, or phrase, that may be in the process of entering common use, but has not yet been accepted into mainstream language.

Neologisms are often directly attributable to a specific person, publication, period, or event.

Neolexia ( Greek: a " new word ", or the act of creating a new word ) is a fully equivalent term.
