What is coinage?

Coinage refers to the process of creating new words or terms, typically by inventing or combining existing words or morphemes. It involves the creation of entirely new lexical items that are not derived from any existing words or roots. Coinage can occur for various reasons, such as to name new inventions, technologies, or concepts, or to create catchy or memorable brand names.
