		For example, the word "video" had been used to describe any visual image on a television screen, and "tape" to describe a thin strip; the word "videotape" was invented in 1953 as a combination of these two, named by combining the words for two of its key features.
		Another illustration of coinage is seen in the word dot-com (1994), denoting a company that relies on the Internet for most or all of its business, which arose due to the frequency of businesses including ".com" in their company name.
		Words and phrases can also be created as an attempt to frame a political issue, in order to cause the listener of the word or phrase to interpret the issue as coiner intends.

	Neologism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A neologism is word, term, or phrase which has been recently created ("coined") —often to apply to new concepts, or to reshape older terms in newer language form.
		They are often created by combining existing words (see compound noun and adjective) or by giving words new and unique suffixes or prefixes.
		It is unusual, however, for a word to enter common use if it does not resemble another word or words in an identifiable way.

		The word pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (defined as "a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust") is certainly the longest word ever to appear in a non-technical dictionary of English (Source: OED).
		Critics have complained that this word is a technical term (specifically, a medical term), and hence not worthy of consideration as the "longest word in general usage".
		It means literally "using words one and half feet long" ie eighteen inches (it would be inappropriate to convert this into the metric scale).

	CONK! Encyclopedia: Coin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		By replacing some fraction of a coin's precious metal content with a base metal (often copper or nickel), the intrinsic value of each individual coin was reduced (thereby "debasing" their money), allowing the coining authority to produce more coins than would otherwise be possible.
		Some consider a classic example of this phenomenon to be the behavior of price levels in the United States since 1964 (the last year circulating United States Coins were minted of 90 percent silver).
		What is unique to the United States, among the developed countries, is that the U.S. has never revised its coinage system to accommodate this inflation, and as a result, coins in America today are scarcely regarded as "money" in any practical sense.

		It does not change a word's form class (that is, the type of word such as noun, verb, adjective, etc.), and it does not change the word's basic meaning.
		On the other hand, in the word capable, the base is cap, giving the word its main meaning, but cap cannot stand alone as a word (it is not the same morpheme found in the word cap, meaning a hat).
		Words such as "frumious" in stanza two, "vorpal" in stanza three, "uffish" in stanza four, though they cannot be defined, amuse us, the Phantom points out, because of their "English" sound.

		The word followed the phenomenon by perhaps half a century, for air pollution was first noticed during the Industrial Revolution.
		The word smog is first recorded in 1905 in a newspaper report of a meeting of the Public Health Congress.

	Neologism
		In linguistics, a neologism is a recently-coined word, or the act of inventing a word or phrase.
		Neologisms are especially useful in identifying new inventions, new phenomena, or old ideas which have taken on a new cultural context.
		The word "neologism" was coined around 1800 and was, at that time, a neologism itself.

		In many ways, the lexical innovations that are made by children in their L1 are similar to the word coinage strategies, used by second language learners when faced with gaps in their knowledge of the L2.
		Tarone's (1978) example of an L2 word-coinage strategy where the word "airball" was used to approximate the word "balloon" is exactly the kind of utterance that one might expect of a child learning his/her L1.
		This word was derived from the word "junk"; "to unjunk" was "to clean the street" and the "tion" was added to turn the word into a noun.

		Phonetically, it's a perfectly standard English word, stop liquid vowel stop; I fail to see how it's any uglier than, say, 'block,' 'plug,' or 'log.' To my mind, it's a clear improvement over 'weblog,' which is harder to use as a verb or combine with other words.

		is a derivative of the word "mergers" respelled to resemble "murders" to reflect the reality that the majority of them are intended to loot all value out of the "acquiring" company on behalf of the bought out or "acquired" asset holders at ludicrous multiples of the value of the assets and business acquired.
		The coinage is an effort to retain some respect for genuine surgeons and doctors who refrain from the malicious religiosity and destruction of human lives and bodies (in violation of the Hippocratic oath) which became organized and popular among medifrauds and dentifrauds during the reign of that original Sturgeon Genital in the mid 1980s.

		And's dictionary also has a number of my own coinages, starting with "aesthcipient," my word for "one who experiences an artwork," which I'm still trying to improve on (because it's too hard to pronounce).
		It is also effective, in my view, because it is reasonably pronounceable, and consists of words or word-parts that suggest its meaning.
		Because I term all forms of linguistic equation or near-equation of words such as metaphors and similes "equaphors," "juxtaphors" refers both to its sibling, "metaphors," and to its taxonomic class, "equaphors," while also expressing its specific meaning.

		Heebie-jeebies and hotsy-totsy are words coined by an outsider of a group used to describe negative behavioural aspects along racial lines: heebie-jeebies = Hebrews/Jews; hotsy-totsy = Hottentot tribe of Africa.
		Your background explanation of this word was uncharacteristically brief and contextually inadequate (note the time frame of the word's coinage).
		The cited derivations appear to be a case of folk etymologies, somewhat similar to the confusion with the word niggard, the origin of which has nothing to do with the word nigger.

		Tiotoling is a new word on PMTH that is taken from Lyotard and means "talking in order to listen." For a few months now we have been using this word, putting it in the subjectheads of our postings, asking and offering to tiotol each other.
