The word neologism derives from Greek roots, formed from "neo" which means "new" and "logo" or "λόγος" which means "word". Neologism is understood to be that term that appears in a certain language as new, or also the insertion of a new concept in an existing entry or word, or a term that comes from another language in particular. the origin of neologisms occurs on various occasions by fashions and thanks to the need for new names.
Neologisms are those entries or a new word that in certain cases take time to be added officially to a language; that are created respond to the naming needs caused by those changes of a socio-cultural nature, by technological and scientific advances or by the desire to expand the expressive possibilities for literary or aesthetic reasons. On the other hand, many of the neologisms that appear may originate from terms that already exist in the same language or from words in another.
According to purism, which is a trend that rejects lexical and grammatical contributions from other languages, there are unnecessary neologisms, such as those that lengthen words thus turning them into arch-syllables, but there are also other necessary neologisms, which as an example we can mention “seropositivo” or “bonobús”. At present, the pioneers in the propagation or diffusion of neologisms and linguistic loans are the different media. On the other hand, some of these words are characterized by having a short, fleeting, momentary or temporary period.
