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.
