Check out the Word of the Year in the Collins Dictionary
word of the year
Collins Dictionary said “lockdown” is its word of the year in 2020 after a dramatic increase in usage amid the spread of Covid-19. Lexicographers said they chose the word because it has become synonymous with the experience of populations around the world as governments try to contain the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s a unifying experience for billions of people around the world who have had to do their part to help fight the spread of COVID-19,” said editor Harper Collins.
Heavily used
Collins registered more than a quarter million uses of “Lockdown” in 2020, up from just 4,000 the year before. Because of the way the pandemic has impacted everyday language, six of Collins’ 10 Words of 2020 relate to the global health crisis.
“Coronavirus”, “social distancing”, “self-isolate” and “furlough” as well as “lockdown” and “key worker” were added to the longer list of 10 words of the year. “Key Worker” alone saw a 60x increase in usage, reflecting the importance this year places on occupations seen as essential to society.
Global shadow of the pandemic
“2020 was dominated by the global pandemic,” said Helen Newstead, language consultant at Collins. “Lockdown has impacted the way we work, learn, shop and socialize. With many countries entering a second lockdown, this isn’t a word of the year to celebrate, but it is perhaps one that sums up the year for most of the world.”
meaning
Collins defines “lockdown” as “the imposition of severe restrictions on travel, social interaction and access to public spaces”. According to the dictionary, coronavirus is: “Any of a group of RNA-containing viruses that can cause respiratory infectious diseases, including COVID-19.” Significant societal and political developments beyond the virus are also reflected in the list, which is already entering online -Found editions of the English dictionary.
New trends
A wave of Black Lives Matter protests, sparked by the death of unarmed black man George Floyd in US police custody, swept across the world, bringing renewed awareness to the movement. The acronym “BLM,” commonly used as a hashtag on social media, was prevalent in conversation and reporting in the wake of the protests, and saw a 581 percent increase in usage by Collins.
Earlier this year, Collins included “TikToker,” which describes someone who shares content on the social media platform TikTok. “Mukbang,” which refers to a South Korean trend where video bloggers eat large amounts of food in videos sent to their followers, also made the list.
