coined
Brought into language
Coined means newly created or invented, especially of words and phrases: Who coined the term "robot"?
The metaphor comes from minting coins—stamping new money into existence.
A newly coined expression has just entered the language.
Something freshly coined suggests recent invention, while a well-coined phrase implies successful creation that caught on.
