"Word": Is there a person who invented any "word" of any natural or ordinary language?

[ecco]

My emphases

How our ancestors from million of years could have done, please?

These are not words as per definition of a word, source given in the OP, please.

It is a scientific term not exactly a word and it is borrowed from German language, please.

Right, please?

Please try to use the word "please" appropriately. Every one of your above comments is correct without the word "please". None of them require the word "please".

 

[paarsurrey]

No. Most words "evolved" from earlier versions of the word and from earlier versions of the language.

English words for newer things like car, spaceship, gasoline, thermonuclear were probably created.

English words older things like dog and person evolved from earlier languages.

"car"

"car (n.)
," from Anglo-French carre, Old North French carre, from Vulgar Latin *carra, related to Latin carrum, carrus (plural carra), originally "two-wheeled Celtic war chariot," from Gaulish karros, a Celtic word (compare Old Irish and Welsh carr "cart, wagon," Breton karr "chariot"), from PIE *krsos, from root *kers- "to run."

"From 16th to 19th c. chiefly poetic, with associations of dignity, solemnity, or splendour ..." [OED]. Used in U.S. by 1826 of railway freight carriages and of passenger coaches on a railway by 1830; by 1862 of streetcars or tramway cars. Extension to "automobile" is by 1896, but from 1831 to the first decade of 20c. the cars meant "railroad train." Car bomb first attested 1972, in reference to Northern Ireland. The Latin word also is the source of Italian and Spanish carro, French char.

The word "car" also existed from c. 1300, "wheeled vehicle".

They are proper nouns of territories and or countries.
A proper noun is a specific (i.e., not generic) name for a particular person, place, or thing.
Word has a relationship/effects with other words in a sentence and its value is determined from other words in a sentence it is used. Proper names have a fixed value that does not change and is not determined by other words in a sentence. That is the difference. Right, please?

Common Nouns and Proper Nouns

You probably already know what a noun is, but I'm still going to give you a little refresher. <a href="What is a noun? Learn what nouns are and what they can do.">Nouns</a> are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. There are many different <a href="List of Nouns: Examples to Help You">types of nouns</a>, and in this lesson, we'll go over two of them: common and proper.

In other words, nouns are words, regardless if they're common or proper.



Proper Nouns | What are proper nouns?

Remember that everything we can see or discuss is represented by a word that names it. That word is called a noun. All nouns can be categorized into one of two groups: common nouns and proper nouns. This entry is about proper nouns, but it is worth learning about proper nouns and common nouns at the same time.

Oh no. Very different. As different as breaking an egg on the small end compared to breaking the egg on the large end.

Perhaps you should explain the difference instead of breaking eggs.. How is the meaning of the two sentences different?

 

[Dan From Smithville]

Perhaps you should explain the difference instead of breaking eggs.. How is the meaning of the two sentences different?

Isn't it obvious. They are the same thing said two different ways. They aren't different. I was just being facetious.

"Dwindle"
"dwindle (v.)

"diminish, become less, shrink," 1590s (Shakespeare), apparently diminutive and frequentative of dwine "waste or pine away," from Middle English dwinen "waste away, fade, vanish," from Old English dwinan, from Proto-Germanic *dwinana (source also of Dutch dwijnen "to vanish," Old Norse dvina, Danish tvine "to pine away," Low German dwinen), from PIE *dheu- (3) "to die" (see die (v.)). Related: Dwindled; dwindling."
dwindle | Search Online Etymology Dictionary

• It is obvious that the word "Dwindle" already existed, as demonstrated above. It is one reason that Shakespeare did not and could not claim that he had created it.
• In addition Shakespeare was a dramatist so he would use only such words which were not new to create drama effect .

Right?

If they are not words, what are they??? Proper nouns ARE words.
But okay, try these:

New words are made up all the time...how can you fail to understand that except through willful ignorance?

They don't yet consider it a new English natural language word. Right?

"Word": Is there a person who invented any "word" of any natural or ordinary language?

And time (history) and space (its location or people) are important dimensions of a natural language and the natural "word/s" it has. And a "new word" can't become a natural "word" until it mills down in these two dimensions to qualify to become a natural "word" of a language.
Right ?

A word becomes a word as soon as it is coined by someone. Even if only one person uses the word, it is still a word. You can make up a new word yourself right now if you want to. Neither time nor history are important. Dictionaries do not produce words, and do not decide for the users of the word what the meanings of the word are. They only describe the usage as it exists, which may change over time.

Jeep. First occurrence in Thimble Theater by Elzie C. Segar. March 1936.

"Jeep"
Its etymology or history dimension is:

2 entries found
"jeep (n.)
early 1941, American English military slang, acronym from G.P., abbreviation of General Purpose (car), but certainly influenced by Eugene the Jeep (who had extraordinary powers but said only "jeep"), from E.C. Segar's comic strip "Thimble Theater" (home of Popeye the Sailor). Eugene the Jeep first appeared in the strip March 13, 1936. The vehicle was in development from 1940, and the Army planners' initial term for it was light reconnaissance and command car."

"veep (n.)

1949, American English, apparently coined from V.P., abbreviation of vice president, perhaps modeled on jeep, which was then in vogue. Introduced by Alben W. Barkley (1877-1956), Harry Truman's vice president. According to the "Saturday Evening Post," "his grandchildren, finding Vice-President too long, call him that." The magazines quickly picked it up, especially when the 71-year-old Barkley married a 38-year-old widow (dubbed the Veepess).

Barkley says word "Veep" is not copyrighted, and any vice president who wants to can use it. But he hopes not many will. [U.S. Department of State wireless bulletin, 1949]
"Time," tongue in cheek, suggested the president should be Peep, the Secretary of State Steep, and the Secretary of Labor Sleep."

So, it is a "American English military slang, acronym"and not a word exactly.
Right?

Another dimension of a "word" is its currency/speed/velocity of spread.

It is OK that one has a different opinion.
Nevertheless, it is a slight twist to the already existing natural word "gender" with a prefix "a", like asunder:
asunder (adv.)
"into a position apart, separate, into separate parts," mid-12c., contraction of Old English on sundran (see a- (1) + sunder). Middle English used to know asunder for "distinguish, tell apart."

I don't agree that there is anything of a creation in the term "agender" while both parts already existed. Right?

But it is a new word nonetheless. And that demonstrates that words (and languages) are created by humans.
