Where do new words come from? How are new words made? Who is responsible for defining the meaning of words?

Some words are coined by combining two existing words. For example, a person who is called upon to give care, give care, give care... just might become known as a caregiver.

Merely having words to describe a situation does not solve the problem but it may improve communication and this leads to greater understanding. We may not be well-equipped today but through more appropriate Word Definition we can become better caregivers.
