Here is the immaculate "con"ception. Words that confine the truth of the thing.
Origin: 1250–1300; Middle English fin < Anglo-French, Old French < Latin fīnis end, utmost limit, highest point
Origin: 1325–75; Middle English def ( f ) inen < Anglo-French, Old French definer to put an end to < Latin dēfīnīre to limit, define, equivalent to dē- + fīnīre

By your logic, 'decide' means 'unkiller'.
Fine
Origin: 1250–1300; Middle English fin < Anglo-French, Old French < Latin fīnis end, utmost limit, highest point
Define
Origin: 1325–75; Middle English def ( f ) inen < Anglo-French, Old French definer to put an end to < Latin dēfīnīre to limit, define, equivalent to dē- + fīnīre
As you see, both words come from the Latin for 'end' or 'limit'.

Haha, your logic has got you quoting the word fine in the wrong context to how I was using it.
I see things are they are, not as they are written.
You would need to understand what a noelogist does to get this.
The use of neologisms is common in children, but is considered indicative of brain damage or a thought disorder (like schizophrenia) when present in adults.
No one can tell me they are wrong or irrational. Well you can and have, but did it change anything?

In theology, a neologism is a relatively new doctrine. In this sense, a neologist is one who proposes either a new doctrine or a new interpretation of source material such as religious texts

Your using words out of the context of this thread not me.

...such as religious texts and/or dictionaries.
Am I making words up that only I understand, or interpreting meterial in a new way?
In psychiatry, the term neologism is used to describe the use of words that have meaning only to the person who uses them, independent of their common meaning. From the same Wikipedia page you quoted.

I wasn't the one who brought up the word neologism.
to make it fit your little project. Theologians don't find new doctrines in dictionaries.

Out of context? I hope I am, but I don't think so. Again: good luck.
