Verboticisms

Created by: Hyperion

Pronunciation: In-im-ist-a-tion. I'm not very experienced with pronunciation guides, but I hope that helps...

Sentence: She felt utter despair at the inimistation that Destiny has dealt her today.. When would this day end?

Etymology: An amalgamation of the Latin word for unfair and the Greek word for fate, in the a vague sort of way. It is also related to inimical, with station referring to a place in life. The description continues in the Comments section of this Verboticism.

COMMENTS:

I hope this qualifies... The spelling's a little odd, though... - Hyperion, 2007-09-09: 08:34:00

I've changed the spelling of the word, and refined its meaning. Continuing on the description... Therefore, it means both an unfair fate and a part of life that's bad for you, as well as a feeling of inimicality in relation to the world and frustration with it. Clever, huh? - Hyperion, 2007-09-09: 08:53:00

COMMENTS:

It's a nice word, but I would expect that in everyday use the pronunciation wouldn't be distinct enough from 'fatal' to be entirely satisfactory. - Nettle, 2007-09-07: 08:52:00

ITS a bit good but its too relevant to the word 'fatal' , you kno wat i mean? - RachelPhillipson2007, 2007-09-08: 08:03:00

Yeah, I know what you mean - Poeiden, 2007-09-08: 09:28:00
