As I make headway in some of my final papers, I've started a running list of "Words that Should Exist" Here is the first installment.
"Containedly" - Adverbial form for "contained". "Self-containedly" just sounds good.
"Discanidacy" - Nounal, roughly synonymous with "disqualification", I'd say. Esp. useful with candidates, obviously. "The infamous 'Yaarrg' was the mark of Howard Dean's discanidacy in 2004."
"Superioristic" - A tighter adjectival, having the quality of "superiorism" (another word that should exist) to denote a like a specifically false sense of superiority. In common practice, people aren't often using "superior" non-pejoratively.
"Recency" - Simply the nounal form of "recent." We're currently using "recentness" for this end, but I mean, come on, "recentness"? (Update: just found out this word, in fact, exists! Well done, everyone.)
"Irrealism" - Not quite "surreal," but by no means "real," and not "unreal," either. Vaguely like Freud's "uncanny." I'd really like to see this catch on because it's entirely my invention. I find myself using this word in papers, remembering it doesn't exist in English and then retreating to the clunkier "surreal," which has specific art-cultural connotations. "Irrealism" would be a neat way of referring to the aesthetic/psychological experience of the "surreal" without involving capital-S "Surrealism."
"Aletorism" - Just feel like we need a nounal root for "aleatoric" or "aleatory" in English. Think of the usage of this, too: "He was famous for his casual aletorism in romantic relationships."
