Proposing a word is tough. There's only slim chance it would catch. But then, it offers a challenge and allow you to think hard on the issue. After all, if you offer a solution, you get to know better the problem.

Throwing a word into the world is a gamble.
Most of the time, it won’t catch on. But that’s the fun of it: every new word is a little challenge. If you try to solve it, you’ll see the problem more clearly.

So what’s a definition, really?
Think of it like a game of grouping. A word only works if everything inside the group has something in common.

  • Vehicle makes sense when it covers cars, trains, bikes—things that carry us around.
  • But if you throw in stars and sofas too? The meaning falls apart.

A definition is just that move: giving a name to a set of things that share a common trait, goal, or function. The name itself could be anything—blip, zoggle, banana. What matters is the shared essence holding the group together. Without that, the “definition” is just random noise.

Here’s the twist.
Dictionaries will tell you that defining is “stating the meaning of a word.” But meaning doesn’t come from just slapping a label on stuff. It comes from spotting a real category that already exists—and then daring to name it.
