1. The industrial and scientific revolutions created a need for new words to describe the new creations and discoveries. This process of coining new words is called neologism: a neologism (from Greek (néo-), meaning "new", and (lógos), meaning "speech, utterance") is a newly coined term, word, or phrase. For this, English relied heavily on Latin and Greek. Words like oxygen, protein, nuclear, and vaccine did not exist in the classical languages, but they were created from Latin and Greek roots. Such neologisms were not exclusively created from classical roots though, English roots were used for such terms as horsepower, airplane, and typewriter. This burst of neologisms continues today, perhaps most visible in the field of electronics and computers. Byte, cyber-, bios, hard-drive, and microchip are good examples.
