     Most importantly perhaps, it is evident that the impression of archaicity which any reader will experience on reading The Lord of the Rings is partly due to three simple lexical causes: the “overuse” of words borrowed from nineteenth-century fiction (e.g. yonder, journey [v], topmost), the avoidance of words associated with the modern world and the comparatively dense use of new coinages, unusual grammatical patterns, rare or obsolescent words.

5. The process of creating something new.
   • 1826, Mary Shelley, The Last Man

     The head will serve for my new coinage, and be an omen to all dutiful subjects of my future success.
