Check out Collins Dictionary’s Word of the Year
Word of the year
Collins Dictionary said “lockdown” is the Word of the Year in 2020 after a dramatic increase in usage during the spread of Covid-19. The lexicographers said they chose the word because it has become synonymous with the experience of populations around the world as governments seek to contain the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s a unifying experience for the billions of people around the world who together have been forced to play their part in fighting the spread of COVID-19,” said publisher Harper Collins.
Used a lot
Collins recorded more than a quarter of a million uses of “blocking” during 2020, compared to just 4,000 the year before. Because of how the pandemic has affected the everyday use of language, six of Collins’ 10 words of the year in 2020 are related to the global health crisis.
“Coronavirus”, “social distancing”, “self-isolation” and “allowance”, as well as “lockdown” and “key worker” are included in the longest list of 10 words of the year. “Main worker” alone has seen a 60-fold increase in usage reflecting the importance attributed this year to occupations deemed essential to society.
The global shadow of the pandemic
“2020 has been dominated by the global pandemic,” said Helen Newstead, a language consultant at Collins. “Lockdown has affected the way we work, study, shop and socialize. “With many countries entering a second lockdown, it’s not a word of the year to celebrate, but it is, perhaps, what sums up the year for most and the World.”
MEANING
Collins defines “lockdown” as “the imposition of severe restrictions on travel, social interaction and access to public spaces”. According to the dictionary, a coronavirus is: “Any one of a group of RNA-containing viruses that can cause infectious diseases of the respiratory tract, including COVID-19.” Important social and political developments beyond the virus are also reflected in the list, which has already entered online editions of the English dictionary.
New trends
A wave of Black Lives Matter protests, sparked by the death in US police custody of unarmed black man George Floyd, has spread around the world and brought new awareness to the movement. The acronym “BLM,” often used as a hashtag on social media, was widely used in conversations and reporting after the protests, with Collins recording a 581 percent increase in usage.
This year, Collins has included “TikToker,” which describes someone who shares content on the social media platform TikTok. “Mukbang,” which refers to a South Korean trend of vloggers eating large amounts of food in videos broadcast to their followers, also made the list.
