In our time, every day, there is a new discovery, and sometimes it happens that there is no suitable word for this discovery. What to do in such cases? Coming up with new words.;)
Why come up with words? This must be done, because every word is an opportunity to express an idea and convey meaning. New words grab attention. They make people focus on what you are saying, which gives you the best opportunity to get your message across.
