          Basically, a [new word] that comes into a [language] through creatively using that language. [Borrowed] words from other languages and dialects are not neologisms.

                A [neologism] (from Greek neo = new [logos] = word) is a word that, devised relatively recently in a specific time period, has not been accepted into a mainstream language. By definition, neologisms are new, and as such are often directly attributable to a specific individual, [publication], period, or event. The term neologism was coined in 1803.1
