Which new word should be added to the English dictionary?

affordable. Because when I look up affordable in the dictionary, what I read and what advertising calls affordable, is not the same anymore.\n\nFor example, an 1 bedroom apartment converted to a condo, at $230,000 is NOT "affordable." But the advertising says it IS!

There is no such word in the English dictionary.

171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words. To this may be added around 9,500 derivative words included as subentries. Over half of these words are nouns, about a quarter adjectives, and about a seventh verbs; the rest is made up of interjections, conjunctions, prepositions, suffixes, etc. These figures take no account of entries with senses for different parts of speech (such as noun and adjective).\n\nThis suggests that there are, at the very least, a quarter of a million distinct English words, excluding inflections, and words from technical and regional vocabulary not covered by the OED, or words not yet added to the published dictionary, of which perhaps 20 per cent are no longer in current use. If distinct senses were counted, the total would probably approach three quarters of a million.

For every 'new' word created and applied, the word itself has it's own unique origins and evolution.\n\nSo to give a typical example of how most of the words are introduced into our language, - then good luck, there's no single way.\n\nWhat you could do is this. Find a list of 100 words that are now included in the Webster's dictionary, -words that have been introduced in the last 20 years. Do research as to their origins.

Merriam-Webster Online has an excellent dictionary and thesaurus and is very easy to use. If you want an actual book, the only one to get is Roget's (there is also a Roget's online, the link is below). Happy wordsmithing!

it is better to refer words from a dictionary and it would be best to refer an Oxford dictionary.
