biblicone vs. neologism

_
- Hide Comments

I found a word today - one that no one throughout my life has informed me of up to this point. The word is Neologism. The definition: a newly coined word or phrase.

Did I unwittingly invent a word (biblicone: a word in need of a definition) that is the prequel to a word invented by the French in the 19th century? Does the word neologism negate the word biblicone? Are these two words long lost cousins finding themselves conjured up by this website? Am I making everything up?

*On a side note - I found another interesting (fairly new) word: Contronym.
The word contronym (also the synonym antagonym) is used to refer to words that, by some freak of language evolution, are their own antonyms. See example.

    I offer you my most enthusiastic contrafribblarities. I’m anus-peptic, phrasmotic, even compunctious that you have such pericombobulation.
