Speaking of coining, there are many concepts for which no word has ever been coined. Frequently someone comes up with one in a new thread, whereupon contributors unsuccessful attempt to find exactly the right word. Many come close but of course nobody hits it on the head because there isn't one

By coincidence, here's an example from WW:

If anyone has a list of other such concepts for which no synonym exists or would like to start a thread soliciting such expressions, I sincerely invite him to do so
