alt-right
Part of speech: noun
adj
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: Abbreviation of alternative right, equivalent to alt- + right, due to it being an alternative to conventional American right-wing and Republican ideologies. The word took its current meaning from a website called 'Alternative Right' created by Richard Spencer and Colin Liddell in 2010, being used only sporadically prior to 2010. The word became prominent in 2015 with the rise of Donald Trump. In 2025, the beginning of Trump's second term, many formerly distinctive alt-right positions have merged into the mainstream right.

pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: So a right without a Buckley will probably be smaller, and uglier to boot. I would expect this alt-right to be a lot more vigorously opposed to the civil rights movement than OTL's. It will also be much less relevant, and probably not snag a certain Californian actor. I predict, then, that America, on the whole, looks a bit more like a Western European social democracy, but with a right wing that looks (hmm...thinking...) well, looks almost fascist.
"But the cultural conflict between these two post-revolutionary styles — between frat guys and feminist bluestockings, Gamergaters and the diversity police, alt-right provocateurs and 'woke' dudebros, the mouthbreathers who poured hate on the all-female 'Ghostbusters' and the tastemakers who pretended it was good — is likely here to stay."
The choice is between a polemicist with deep ties to the alt-right movement, or a conventional policy professional with an open channel to the political establishment that Trump ran against, but which he needs to pass an agenda.
At the risk of putting my own work out of date, I believe that chapter of the alt-right story that my book was about—the anonymous online trolling culture, the constant evasions and ironic styles, the hodge-podge of disparate groups united by the “anti-PC” crusade—is over and a new one has begun. The alt-right in the strict sense will now become more isolated, more focused and unambiguous—and perhaps more militant.

protomolecule
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: From proto- + molecule.
Base: molecule
Affixes: proto-
Inflected forms:
form: protomolecules
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: A collection of unstably bound atoms that has the potential to form a molecule if the structure can shed sufficient energy.
pos: noun
examples: Molecular hydrogen is by the way a very difficult species to form in the gas phase by radiative association of H atoms, mainly because the protomolecule formed in this way is vibrationally highly excited and cannot get rid of the energy excess to enter inside the potential well and reach stability in a time short enough to avoid breaking.
This is a consequence of the fact that the protomolecule, just formed in a high vibrational level, has to release quickly (roughly in a time comparable with its vibrational period) an energy excess of about four and a half electronvolt.
As pointed out many years ago (see, for example, Duley and Williams, 1984), molecular hydrogen cannot form efficiently in the gas phase in the ISM, when H atoms are neutral and in the ground state, since three-body reactions are necessary to take out the excess energy quickly enough before the protomolecule falls apart.
gloss: A relatively simple molecule from which a more complex molecule is derived.
pos: noun
examples: It is most probable that all matter is simply the allotropic expression of one element and that the protomolecule is the union of the positively and negatively electrified etheric corpuscle.
Another example is the technique developed at NRC for synthesizing the insulin protomolecule.
The local structure seen in Figure 3 may in fact be the entire structure of a fundamental melanin protomolecule.
