OP In a communication to some church folk, I used the word "hecticity" to describe the state in which too many people find themselves as the Feast of the Nativity approaches. What ought to be a calm and measured and reflective time (the essence of Advent) turns out to be frenetic and exhausting ... a time of hecticity. As so often happens, one recipient challenged the use of this term, going so far as to suggest that it is "not a word." Your sense?
