ReplyDeleteA word I would invent would be imaginatia. It means a setting for your imagination. If you think about it, imagination could be a place, but saying imaginatia is pinning an exact location on it. I think it could be used by many people even in a joking manner. It would also open up a place for more people to describe their imagination.
ReplyDeleteHanter- the worrying of a well-being of another human. Originates in Greece.
ReplyDeleteThis must stay because I believe we are selfish human being. I believe when we cry, it's pity for ourselves. I don't necessarily believe that this word will get us anywhere, but it's a start. I think it can start a fire and spread like wildfire.
The last line of this comment makes me happy

Deletestalmatic- adj.- feeling or being in a poor lesser-feeling mental state
ReplyDeleteEx: Sorry for being a downer today, I'm just in kind of a stalmatic mood.
I believe that this word could be extremely useful in our language because I feel like there's not many words to describe someone feeling not their best, so it would help to get someone who is sad get their feelings across.
you mean this isn't a real word already? I'm using it. totally using it in my real life vocab

ReplyDeletehopeshy (deriving from the two words "hope" and "shy"; a compound word) - being afraid of hope, shying away from keeping faith and working towards something you really wanting to accomplish, keeping you from chasing your dreams.
ReplyDeleteThis word would need to stay in the language as a reminder to never end up in a state oh hopeshy. Obviously it would have a bad connotation, and though it is negative, it's encouraging all the same.
2.) A sentence that elevates human kind with one image: The grasp of the muscles holding onto one another in the act of amorousness.
ReplyDeleteamarte-this word comes from the italian word love: Amare, and the italian word strong: Forte. This word means to love someone or something strongly.
ReplyDeleteTommy likey!
Deleteavulet (noun)- the state in which you desire something you cannot have.
ReplyDeleteI came up with this word from the latin root Av- which means desire. I think this word is versatile and relatable; everyone wants something they can't have. I think it should remain in the language for awhile because I think we all carry on in life wanting something, being "avulet" and if that's taken away, then what else is there to live for? We have to be avulet, bottom line.
I love this. Although a disheartening word, I think it's so relatable and really puts an emotion everyone goes through into words.
DeleteI'm using that
DeleteCold frost to new life, fresh beginnings to dying light, darkness to brightness,all taken for granted, its last few moments until death arrives.
ReplyDelete"Comunico" – Latin. A word used to described sharing of a common wealth, or make a rare substance common.
ReplyDeleteI think this word is a new quality. It is important because of the characteristic it holds due to the significance of the lack of selfishness. It is important for now because I realize what discrimination is going on in Europe and the Middle East. Sharing of common wealth may not only stop it, but may even cause different people to rejoice.
veb ~ the moods you receive from colors: red's veb is anger or love, blue's veb is sadness, green's veb is jealousy ~ comes from me typing letters on the keyboard and checking to see if its a word. I feel like there are other words that can describe this, but I'm not completely sure. I think it should stay alive for the same reason all words do - it's useful.
ReplyDeletecoldeur: meaning a level of cold-heartedness that can't be forgiven. Literally a combination of the French "cœur" for heart and English "cold."
ReplyDeleteThe word I would invent would be, passionstract. It would basically come from the words passion and abstract. The word means passion driven from deep within. Using this word is used to describe the emotions we bury from the deep pits of our abstract and complex souls.
ReplyDeleteImagine an oasis of understanding and enlightenment surrounded by a seemingly endless desert of doubt and isolation. The surrounding sand is hot and dry, with no sign of life. People try to get to the oasis on their own, with the intent to keep it to themselves. It is not until they realize that we must all make the journey through the dunes together that we will then drink from and bathe in the water that makes us complete. The lush vegetation and vibrant colors are immune to the surrounding desert now that we have learned to accept one another and realized that we are all in this life together.
ReplyDeleteLoviate- (Verb) The action in which someone takes to cause others to love others.
ReplyDeleteThis word needs to be in our language because the more loviation occurring in our nation and the whole world will make it be easier to live in a great place where our actions could evoke more actions to occur.
Anrtowuii- Adjective
ReplyDeleteOriginating in Greece
It stands for the beauty and stillness of a moment in nature or anywhere else. When something is so completely breath taking and there is no words to use, this word is used. It defines the utter comfort of what is so cherished in life.
1.) Crevility: The condition of being creative in an evil way. Crevil is the root word which means to be creative and evil. You can see that the word derives from the two words basically being smashed together into one. I think this word must stay in the language for awhile because whenever someone pulls a prank or does something really spectacular but it was mostly for a devious reason. It was well thought out and planned perfectly, but all of this to prank someone or to have a good laugh? You know it's evil. It is evil, but you also know it was unlike any other prank and it was original. It was creative. This goes for jokes that people make up as well. They're so evil, but they're creative. They are crevil jokes and pranks or lines.
ReplyDeleteI would totally teach that term!
ReplyDelete1). I'm going to think about this while I am at work and comment my word with definition later.
ReplyDelete2). It was through countless nights of disagreements that the couple finally came to an agreement of what love in its purest form is, which is the two the of them, standing on a fine point--facing different directions, yes--but standing together; a couple.
1:) Making up a word is difficult so I'll let someone else make it up I'll give the definition: finding beauty in something unsightly; unsightly meaning something often looked upon as bad, I was watching a show recently in which the antagonist does awful things to others and calls the outcome of those things art, I may not agree with it being beautiful but art being objective it is that antagonist right to view it that way( even if he's psycho) so I think a word needs to be made to account for that taste.
ReplyDelete2: if you look up to the sky on a starry night you finger covers up an entire star, a star so unfathamably big that the mere thought of it size makes our planet seem meaningless, but to you, on that night, it is meaningless and you are that star, your so unfathamably big, immeasurably powerful that you can cover the star with just one finger. So if you can look up at the night sky dotted with diamonds and brave the vast unknown of something so never ending, so enormous in its gravity, bottomless in its death,how can anything, how could anyone, on this small, blue planet stop you from achieving your dreams?
Shriveled (adjective)-finding beauty in something unsightly. Initially it sounds to have a negative connotation, but upon further inspection all can see that it is a positive, complimentary term.
DeleteExample: Hey, bro. That sweater is shriveled!
Translation: Hello fellow human being. While many would deem your sweater unsightly, I find great beauty in it.
Ur wrong
DeleteWhile reading everyone's words and meanings I when and looked at the letters on my phone and though "craniotomy" I do not know why. Though I know that craniotomy means to surgically open someone's skull I'd want it to mean something more, something like; to open someone's inner most thoughts, fears, feeling, movements, memories, language, everything that the human brain can control.
ReplyDeleteThe word "fellopient" popped in my head. I can't seem to figure out what it should mean. It could describe how unbelievably ignorant someone is, because that's what I thought of when I said it, but I also don't want it to be that. Maybe it can be like Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, a word to use when you have nothing else to say.
ReplyDeleteI think it should be an adjective for a subject that flows smoothly or freely. Ex: Oh, that pen is pretty wicked fellopient, dawg." Or: "The fellopient river calmed her down, and she was finally able to understand what the word 'fellopient' means"
DeleteFitting, I think. What say yous?
