Meaning of coined name | Babel Free

Noun CEFR B2

Definitions

  1. A newly invented word used as the name of an ingredient, product, or brand. For example, the use of "Kreme" for non-dairy cream-like products.
  2. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see coined, name.

Examples

“For example, the coined name "Hardiclad" used to describe molded plastic drawer fronts having the appearance of wood, is not sufficient to disclose that such parts are plastic or that they are not wood.”
“"Corn Dogs" made from poultry cooked sausage, e.g., poultry franks or poultry frankfurters, must show the "kind" of poultry used in conjunction with the coined name "Corn Dogs," e.g., "Chicken (or Turkey) Corn Dogs."”
“The coined name, too, should be easy to pronounce and easy to spell. It should not be grotesque or in any way displeasing. Possibly the name "Mak-Mor Sales Company" can be criticised on this score.”
