B) carved
C) uttered
D) coined
Answers
The correct answer is option D - coined.
The word ‘coined’ means, to discover or invent a new word or phrase.
Answer:
The correct answer is D) coined.
Explanation:
Words are not fabricated. A lie is fabricated.
Words cannot be carved, unless it is a craft project on wood or metal.
Words can be uttered, but that is not the same as forming a new word.
Therefore, new words are coined.
To coin a word means to invent or make up a new word. For instance, Shakespeare is given the credit for coining many words including bedazzled. Some words become archaic or obsolete and out of use, while some become a part of the language that is commonly used. ‘Hipster’ is a word that continues to be in use. Each year many words are coined, adding to our vocabulary.
