Beneception

/ˌbɛnɪˈsɛpʃən/ noun

Definition

A philosophical or scientific term referring to the reception or perception of something beneficial or positive.

Etymology

From Latin 'bene-' (well, good) combined with '-ception' (from Latin 'capere', meaning to take or receive). This is a constructed philosophical term combining well-known Latin roots.

Kelly Says

This is a beautifully constructed but rarely used word—it shows how English speakers can build new terms by combining Latin roots, just like scientists created 'photosynthesis' by stacking ancient words together!
