Word: puebloization Part of Speech: noun Etymology: Etymology tree English puebloize Proto-Indo-European *-tis Proto-Indo-European *-Hō Proto-Indo-European *-tiHō Proto-Italic *-tiō Latin -tiō Latin -ātiōlbor. Old French -ationbor. Middle English -acioun English -ation English pueblo English -ization English puebloization From puebloize + -ation, or from pueblo + -ization. Pronunciation: /ˌpwɛ.bləʊ.ɪˈzeɪʃən/, /ˌpwɛ.bloʊ.ɪˈzeɪʃən/ 1. The process or resulting of puebloizing; conversion into a pueblo. Labels: uncountable Example: The most radical change in architecture on the plaza, however, was the Herman Blueher house at 302 San Felipe. Originally a brick Queen Anne, this imposing structure would have been the pride of any Victorian American city. Separated from the street by a spacious yard, the two-story building was further heightened by a gabled roof. The porch, laden with gingerbread trim, surrounded the home on both stories. During the "puebloization" of the 1950s, however, new owners adapted the home for use as a restaurant, and altered it radically. They flattened the gabled roof, creating a Territorial look. They removed porches, as well as all window trimming. Finally, the new owners built an extension on the first floor, bringing it right to the sidewalk and adding a low-slung, covered, wooden portal. This building would be completely unrecognizable to Herman Blueher.

Word: Olympic Valley Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Olympic + valley, referring to Olympia, in the valley of the Alfeiós River in Greece, where the Ancient Olympic Games were held. Pronunciation: /əˌlɪmpɪk ˈvæli/, /oʊ-/ 1. A valley formed by the river Alpheus, Ilia, Greece, site of Olympia.
Word: Olympic Valley Part of Speech: name Etymology: From Olympic + valley, referring to the 1960 Winter Olympics which were held there. The term was coined by the United States congressman from California Bernice Frederic Sisk (1910–1995) in 1958, to distinguish up-and-coming Squaw Valley in Placer County from the more established community of Squaw Valley in Fresno County, which he represented in Congress. Based on this recommendation, the United States Board on Geographic Names (BGN) decided on August 28, 1958, that Squaw Valley would only refer to the community in Fresno County. This name later gained popularity as an alternative to Fresno's Squaw Valley as the pejorative sense of squaw became more widely recognized. In September 2022, the BGN officially renamed the valley. Pronunciation: /əˌlɪmpɪk ˈvæli/, /oʊ-/ 1. An unincorporated community in Placer County, California, United States. Example: The Eighth Olympic Winter Games, which start Feb. 18 in California's "Olympic Valley," will be marked by a 4-cent commemorative stamp which features the five entwined circles, Olympic symbol, and a snow crystal which fixes the time of the year. […] The stamp will have its first-day ceremony at the "Olympic Valley, California" postal station, set up especially by the Tahoe City Post Office at the site of the games to accommodate athletes and visitors. Example: [page 734] The centerpiece of Olympic Valley is the Village at Squaw Valley […] a pedestrian mall at the base of several four-story ersatz-Bavarian-style stone-and-timber buildings, where you’ll find restaurants, high-end condo rentals, boutiques, and cafés. […] [page 735] The best restaurant at Olympic Valley is also the finest in the entire Tahoe Basin, the epitome of discreet chic and a must-visit for all serious foodies. 2. A valley in the Sierra Nevada, Placer County, California, United States, named after this community. Example: To go to Squaw Valley, instead of taking Route 267 continue on around the lake a bit to Tahoe City and pick up Highway 89, which will enter the Olympic Valley. Example: Just about everyone knows the mountains, lifts, snow and sunshine combine above the Olympic Valley to create ideal conditions for skiing and snowboarding.

Word: non-compositional Part of Speech: adj Etymology: From non- + compositional. 1. Not compositional. Example: Any natural language processing system that does not have a knowledge of non-compositional idioms and their interpretation will make mistakes. Previous authors have attempted to automatically identify these expressions through the property of non-substitutability: similar words cannot be successfully substituted for words in non-compositional idiom expressions without changing their meaning. Example: The recognition and accurate translation of proper nouns, many of which are bilingually non-compositional, are a major issue in MT and other NLP applications. This is especially true for Chinese and Japanese, whose scripts present linguistic and algorithmic challenges not found in other languages.
