Cobb junior career never seemed to truly get off the ground, so that doesn't surprise me.

Maybe he couldn't get into Whatsamatta U?

Wossamotta.  Also, I learned a new word today: mondegreen.

My 4-year-old granddaughter coined the word "hanitizer" (meaning "hand sanitizer") during the peak of the pandemic. I thought it was just a neologism, but I guess I was wrong.

[ugarte]

hanitizer isn't a mondegreen. a mondegreen is a misheard lyric (or, in the original, line of poetry) like thinking Jimi Hendrix is singing "Excuse me while I kiss this guy" or Elton John asked Tony Danza to hold him closer.

So, it can't just be a misheard term; it has to be from song or poetry?

That would be one precocious granddaughter.

yes, but also... more like it's a strange term to apply to a four year old who lacks the age and experience to have had a chance of getting it right.

Well, now she's six and in first grade, reading at about third grade level, so I'd agree with you. But I assumed she came up with hanitizer when she heard "sanitizer" but was unfamiliar with sanitariness, knew it was for hands, and assumed the word was "hanitizer" because one uses it on their hands.

This would not be a singlet, as I understand the term.

bill's alternate definition of hanitizer was the sniglet

[nshapiro]

hanitizer is a wonderful Portmanteau.  Tell Webster's, they will love it.

Right. But as I understand it, a sniglet is deliberately chosen because a more suitable word does not already exist.

I agree that "hanitizer" is a better term than "hand sanitizer." So, as far as I'm concerned "hanitizer" qualifies as a sniglet.

But my granddaughter created the word, and she did not even know another term, the official "hand sanitizer," even existed. Instead, she heard the term, cognitively processed it through her understanding that it means something that cleans hands, and therefore believed the original term she heard was actually "hanitizer." So, for her it is not a sniglet.

This seems more akin to a mondegreen, except it doesn't involve song or poetry, a condition ugarte says is necessary.

Is there a term for a word a child makes up because it resembles an adult term they've heard but makes more sense in the context of the child's understanding of the world?

Vows of "commitment" whether in sports or government or business or matrimony have suffered from greatly reduced expectations - and results.
