![]() A protologism is new word or phrase, recently invented. At one time, Lewis Carroll’s chortle was a protologism. Other examples of words that used to be protologisms include laser, agitprop, robotics, McJob, quark, gas giant, and scrooge. To answer this week’s challenge, you must invent a new word. Create a dictionary entry for your new word in the style of Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary. (See the Writing Resources page for that link.) Make sure you include a sentence or two showing your protologism in action. When you've revised and edited your submission, save it as Gauntlet 3 [Insert Your Name Here]. For example, my file would be named Gauntlet 3 Mr Chance. Before Friday, 27 November, email your response to the challenge to mchance at theregisschool dot org. Huzzah!
