Pseudoneologism
"Pseudoneologism" in a Sentence (1 examples)
A veritable lexicon of pseudoneologisms serves as the most subtle currency of this "givenness of the wrong word" in Beckett's prose. Throughout the work, arcane diction such as "dimmen," "strangury," "collapsion," "scrute" abounds. By their juxtaposition with perfectly colloquial idioms, these words present the erroneous appearance of neologism.
