recently in written or spoken English by one of our staff or a special team employed to monitor the language for such neologisms, or new words. Some of them will undoubtedly be short-lived, some will prove popular and eventually make it into our dictionaries – it is very difficult to predict which will do which, particularly because most of these words have only just started appearing. Therefore we present them here, separately from our main dictionaries, for users’ interest and (hopefully) entertainment. Source information, about where the word was read or heard, is usually included with the original context.</p> <p>These words and phrases can appear in either British or American English; the source information will usually give an indication of this. The entries for these new words are not as fully-featured as those on the <a href="http://dictionary.cambridge.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cambridge Dictionary</a> site – for example, there is not as much grammar information – because it is difficult to give such information with accuracy as the words are still so new in the language.</p> <p>We make no claims that these words will still be popular in a year’s time, nor do we approve or disapprove them – we leave it up to you to vote on whether the words should be added to the dictionary.</p> <div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing"><h3 class="sd-title">Share this:</h3><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-facebook"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-facebook-419" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/about-new-words/?share=facebook" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Facebook" ><span></span><span class="sharing-screen-reader-text">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)</span></a></li><li class="share-twitter"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-twitter-419" class="share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/about-new-words/?share=twitter" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Twitter" ><span></span><span class="sharing-screen-reader-text">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)</span></a></li><li class="share-reddit"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="" class="share-reddit sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/about-new-words/?share=reddit" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Reddit" ><span></span><span class="sharing-screen-reader-text">Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)</span></a></li><li class="share-email"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="" class="share-email sd-button share-icon no-text" href="mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20About%20New%20Words&body=https%3A%2F%2Fdictionaryblog.cambridge.org%2Fabout-new-words%2F&share=email" target="_blank" title="Click to email a link to a friend" data-email-share-error-title="Do you have email set up?" data-email-share-error-text="If you're having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.

It is common practice in may publications to place a term readers might now know in inverted commas and to provide an explanation of what the term means. This is especially true when introducing more technical terminology to a lay audience, but can be used whenever a new term is being mentioned for the first time. Another device is to introduce a new term with ‘so-called’ although there is at least a whiff of disapproval in that approach.</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-18458032-1100-67b9b3415e949' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=18458032&comment_id=1100&origin=dictionaryblog.cambridge.org&obj_id=18458032-1100-67b9b3415e949' data-name='like-comment-frame-18458032-1100-67b9b3415e949'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class='sd-link-color'></a></div> </div> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/about-new-words/#comment-1100"> <time datetime="2012-01-16T15:50:24+00:00"> January 16, 2012 at 3:50 pm </time> </a> <span class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="#comment-1100" data-commentid="1100" data-postid="419" data-belowelement="div-comment-1100" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Cambridge Words" aria-label="Reply to Cambridge Words">Reply</a></span> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-1280" class="comment odd alt depth-3 parent"> <article id="div-comment-1280" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/43b0b7f43fdc9618f0d99db59435bd80?s=60&d=identicon&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/43b0b7f43fdc9618f0d99db59435bd80?s=120&d=identicon&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-60 photo' height='60' width='60' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">Sharon N.

Suggesting it to friends is a start, but to really get it out there you need to start using it on the internet – in social media, forums etc. If you can get it in such a format that it goes viral (such as a humorous cartoon that people will want to share with friends), it is possible for it to catch on very quickly.</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper

I thought of this word while writing “email address”. E-DRESS, pronounced eedress. It would replace the commonly used “email address”, shortening it and thus making it easier and faster to say, type and write. I imagine it could be used in writing and speech around the world.

contexts in which I can’t find good antonyms for ‘avoidant’ or ‘avoidance’ – unsatisfactory candidates include positive, active, proactive and confident. Unpleasant neologisms might include “approachant” and “approachance” . </p> <p>In relations with other people , e,g, “her avoidant behaviour was characterized by withdrawing and turning away from others”. “Very friendly” or “sociable” are perhaps the nearest to an adjective that means “open to and actively positive about interactions with other people”, but lack specificity. </p> <p>However, this is probably less of a problem than the other sense of characterising goals, e.g. Avoid goals are directed towards avoiding an undesirable outcome, such as “I don’t want to be the last one chosen.” Approach goals are directed towards approaching a desirable outcome, such as “I want to get a First in my degree”. </p> <p>It is slightly odd that it is difficult to come up with an adjective that means ‘acting positively towards a desirable outcome’. “He stopped avoiding his dissertation, and displayed a positive and active attitude towards his studies” is fine, but long. “He stopped avoiding his dissertation, behaving in an approach way towards his studies” sounds terrible. “He stopped avoiding his dissertation with approachance” also sounds terrible, but is succinct. </p> <p>I would be interested to hear of any really good antonyms for ‘avoidant’ and ‘avoidance’.</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-18458032-6551-67b9b34167e75' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=18458032&comment_id=6551&origin=dictionaryblog.cambridge.org&obj_id=18458032-6551-67b9b34167e75' data-name='like-comment-frame-18458032-6551-67b9b34167e75'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class='sd-link-color'></a></div> </div> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/about-new-words/#comment-6551"> <time datetime="2013-02-06T17:12:33+00:00"> February 6, 2013 at 5:12 pm </time> </a> <span class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="#comment-6551" data-commentid="6551" data-postid="419" data-belowelement="div-comment-6551" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to georgessengupta" aria-label="Reply to georgessengupta">Reply</a></span> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-7293" class="comment even depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-7293" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4be05b225baf3be8e5d9536fcbe11472?s=60&d=identicon&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4be05b225baf3be8e5d9536fcbe11472?s=120&d=identicon&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-60 photo' height='60' width='60' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">occultivate</b> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Optimistic / Optimistically ?</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-18458032-7293-67b9b341684aa' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=18458032&comment_id=7293&origin=dictionaryblog.cambridge.org&obj_id=18458032-7293-67b9b341684aa' data-name='like-comment-frame-18458032-7293-67b9b341684aa'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class='sd-link-color'></a></div> </div> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/about-new-words/#comment-7293"> <time datetime="2013-05-30T15:13:53+01:00"> May 30, 2013 at 3:13 pm </time> </a> <span class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="#comment-7293" data-commentid="7293" data-postid="419" data-belowelement="div-comment-7293" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to occultivate" aria-label="Reply to occultivate">Reply</a></span> </div> </article> </li> <li id="comment-68377" class="comment odd alt depth-2 parent"> <article id="div-comment-68377" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/574496d78255dfefd3502b7407b9f296?s=60&d=identicon&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/574496d78255dfefd3502b7407b9f296?s=120&d=identicon&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-60 photo' height='60' width='60' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn">David L.

It is missing a very important word that is not just “the average noun” or something pointless. Maybe learning about this word would produce reactions that counter the satisfactory way English is looked upon, plus the scientists of Earth would learn new approaches in things like Quantum Physics which will be spoken of below.</p> <p>Urdu: Vasei</p> <p>Definition: No How</p> <p>No method as to How it is done.</p> <p>In Quantum Physics there is the ongoing attempt to solve how an electron disappears and reappears around different points of the nuclei. Cause and effect is the accepted theory of mainstream science. Why would a How be the way? Vasei is a very technical way of not only seeing things but things actually happening.</p> <p>There are also examples in other collections of information where lengthy explanations are needed to explain metaphors of “the Vasei Occurrence” even for translations in English. Slogans like “Let there be light” and Arabic “Kun Faya Kun” (Allah said “Be” and it was).</p> <p>Please start the process of adding this word to English.</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Ali Ismail</p> <div

humorous example of word creation watch the Australian movie ‘Mary and Max’. Max, who lives alone in New York with his cat, suffers autism and anxiety but finds himself in a relationship via letter writing with Mary who lives in Australia. The term used for this was ‘pen pal’ but with the rise of electronic communications is now somewhat archaic. How about the term ‘e-pal’ expressing a long term relationship developed through the exchanging of emails. Also could there be a blog not just for new words but for the resurrection of old words.

needed before a word can simply be added. It should be more than popular usage as that can change with tastes and trends. Does the word add anything to our collective consciousness, advance understanding where old words were barriers, and does this word have a sonorous quality that contributes to the beauty of language, which is our core human legacy. Categories should be balanced: scientific, aesthetic, descriptive, informative, current, reflective, knowledge-based, culturally relevant, purposeful (life-saving), and poetic, inspiring, our only way to speak to the unknown. Not just political, newspeak, doublespeak, jargon widely accepted or inocuous slang. This is our human time capsule into eternity.</p> <div class='jetpack-comment-likes-widget-wrapper jetpack-likes-widget-unloaded' id='like-comment-wrapper-18458032-74472-67b9b3417cb34' data-src='https://widgets.wp.com/likes/#blog_id=18458032&comment_id=74472&origin=dictionaryblog.cambridge.org&obj_id=18458032-74472-67b9b3417cb34' data-name='like-comment-frame-18458032-74472-67b9b3417cb34'> <div class='likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes-widget-placeholder comment-likes'><span class='loading'>Loading...</span></div> <div class='comment-likes-widget jetpack-likes-widget comment-likes'><span class='comment-like-feedback'></span><span class='sd-text-color'></span><a class='sd-link-color'></a></div> </div> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/about-new-words/#comment-74472"> <time datetime="2018-11-12T01:40:57+00:00"> November 12, 2018 at 1:40 am </time> </a> <span class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="#comment-74472" data-commentid="74472" data-postid="419" data-belowelement="div-comment-74472" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to katherinewalker" aria-label="Reply to katherinewalker">Reply</a></span> </div> </article> <ol class="children"> <li id="comment-74474" class="comment odd alt depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-74474" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/51edca0461ab91758381317a99ecbf68?s=60&d=identicon&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/51edca0461ab91758381317a99ecbf68?s=120&d=identicon&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-60 photo' height='60' width='60' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> <b class="fn"><a href="http://gravatar.com/katwalk65" class="url" rel="ugc external nofollow">katherinewalker</a></b> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Life-saving because shorthand can be incredibly useful for triage and trauma, actions directed by a leader, quick understanding of a situation as our world has changed.
