zzfriend commented on the word neosignism
A neosignism is a familiar word with a new meaning. For instance, the word "dog," meaning "digital online graphic," is not an acronym (DOG) but a neosignism. A first cousin, of course, to _neologism,_ which I suspect it is, as well. Etymology from the French/Latin for _meaning._
