Invisarbol
Today I learned that you don't have to be Shakespeare or Chaucer to make up words. In fact, whenever necessary (like say if there is no single word to describe whatever it is you're intending to describe), it is prefectly acceptable to add new words to the English language. This is not slang, nor is it grammatically incorrect. This is how language is formed. My most recent addition to the English language is this word: Invisarbol - noun - A tree that is translucent or fading to invisible. Origin: invis- from the English invisible, arbol - from the spanish word for tree, árbol. (if you know much about Chaucer, you will undoubtedly know of his infusion of french and latin into middle english, so thanks for the pioneering Geoff.)
