In linguistics, a protologism is a newly used or coined word, a nonce word, that has been repeated but has not gained acceptance beyond its original users or been published independently of the coiners.[1][2] The word may be proposed, may be extremely new, or may be established only within a very limited group of people.[3][4]
A protologism becomes a neologism as soon as it appears in published press, on a website, or in a book, independently of the coiner[5]—though, most definitively, in a dictionary.[6] A word whose developmental stage is between that of a protologism (freshly coined) and a neologism (a new word) is a prelogism.[7]
