Appendix:Fanciful 19th century American coinages

During the early-mid 19th century United States, roughly the from the late 1820s through mid-century, particularly the 1830s, many fanciful words were coined, often as pseudo-Latinate terms. Some never achieved widespread use or fell out of use, but a small number remain in current use, typically as informal, jocular terms.

Many of these terms are recorded in Dictionary of Americanisms, by, starting with the first edition (1848).
