Context for New Word

While reading Wood (2012) I came across nascent as a new word.

This is an interesting thought yo think about how ideas are born.

The following are the words that are in the New Word Project:

The definition for this word taken from the Terminology app, which is based on the Princeton University’s WordNet lexical database. If you are interested in how I created this resource and how I add new words to it, you can see my blog post Title of Blog Post.
