Word Of The Year 2023 – part 1

Word Of The Year for 2023, announced by Dictionary dot com, is not a new word. It’s an old word with a new meaning. Each year, trending words and phrases are tracked and analysed. The winner usually sums up in one or two words the most significant event, discovery, crisis or trend of the given calendar year.

Four years ago, Word Of The Year for 2019 was “climate emergency”.

In 2020 there was a word that was used 570 times more often than a year before. It was “pandemic”.

In 2021, the winner was “vax”. No explanation necessary.

In 2022, Word Of The Year was “Goblin mode”, an attitude more and more frequently heard of.

Different sources come up with different winners. In our mini-series, we are presenting two of them. One of them in this week’s blog post, the other one in next week’s.
