Last year, the Merriam-Webster online dictionary included some very creative additions. Notable examples include ‘Trumpadour' (describing the hairstyle of US President Donald Trump), ‘nomophobia' (the fear of being without a mobile phone) ‘unfortunacy' (the state of being overburdened by a series of unfortunate events) and the portmanteau ‘conlang' (a fake or invented language). While some of the words may seem a little juvenile to some older people, it's exactly the creative domain where sometimes useful precise and lasting words are invented.
