Protologism
A protologism is a brand new word.[1] Most people don't know about the word after its creation.[2] Only a tiny group of people have ever used the word.[3] Sometimes the coiner is the only person who has ever used the word.[4] Sometimes people create protologisms because of a gap in the language.[5]
